shintoism
Shintoism, also known as Shinto, is a traditional and ancient religion of Japan that focuses on ritual practices and ceremonies to establish a connection between present-day Japan and its ancient past. This religion is centered on the worship of a multitude of deities known as "kami", which can be anything mystical, supernatural or divine, including spirits, gods, natural entities like mountains and rivers, and natural forces. Shintoists believe in the existence of these kami and respect and honor them to bring harmony and balance to their lives. Shinto does not have a founder or formal scriptures, but its practices and beliefs were handed down through generations orally and in written stories. Shintoism touches all aspects of life, including cultural practices and societal norms.
The Nuttall Encyclopedia
