"An excellently rounded introduction by an eminent Shinto
scholar."--Library Journal Shinto, the indigenous faith of the
Japanese people, continues to fascinate and mystify both the casual
visitor to Japan and the long-time resident. Relatively unknown
among the religions of the world, Shinto: The Kami Way provides an
enlightening window into this Japanese faith. In its general
aspects, Shinto is more than a religious faith. It is an amalgam of
attitudes, ideas, and ways of doing things that through two
millennia and more have become an integral part of the manner of
the Japanese people. Shinto is both a personal faith in the
kami--objects of worship in Shinto and an honorific for noble,
sacred spirits--and a communal way of life according to the mind of
the kami. This introduction unveils Shinto's spiritual
characteristics and discusses the architecture and function of
Shinto shrines. Further examination of Shinto's lively festivals,
worship, music, and sacred regalia illustrates Shinto's influence
on all levels of Japanese life. Fifteen photographs, numerous
drawings and Dr. Ono's text introduce the reader to two millennia
of indigenous Japanese belief in the kami and communal life.
