Shintoism is the native religion of Japan, and provides a link between modern day Japan and its history that serves to remind the Japanese people of what Japan was like before Westernizing reforms in the nineteenth century. Shintoism is highly integrated with the other major Eastern philosophies, particularly Buddhism. As one facet of a complex spirituality, Shintoism represents a uniquely Japanese approach. This book provides an introduction to its myths and legends as well as its practices and history.Project Webster represents a new publishing paradigm, allowing disparate content sources to be curated into cohesive, relevant, and informative books.
