Paperback. Condition: New. Shinto permeates the religious landscape of Japan and is a major key to the understanding of Japanese culture and society. But what is it?

It contains much information about sacred Shinto shrines and the divinities (the kami) which are the focus of devotion there.

It provides a refreshing and much-needed resource for all who are interested in the subject.…
