This reference work contains over 1000 entries on Shinto, ranging
from brief definitions and Japanese terms to short essays dealing
with aspects of Shinto practice, belief and institutions from early
times up to the present day. Shinto regards itself as the ancient
indigenous tradition of Japan, yet has gone through transformations
even in the 20th century. The introduction considers the
problematic notion of "Shinto" itself, while the main body of the
dictionary explains terms relating to such matters as festivals,
shrines, rituals, "kami", Shinto-related religious movements,
significant events and key figures in the development of Shinto.
The book contains explanations of Shinto terms, coverage of the
dimensions of Shinto, and a religious studies approach to the
subject which deals with Shinto ideas and practices.
