About this title

Synopsis

At the height of the Cold War, writer and photographer Mikkel Aaland finds himself drawn into a mysterious Shinto priest’s plan to save the world. Traveling from Norway to the Philippines, Iceland to South Africa, he places pieces of a sacred Shinto sword in key power spots around the world. Along the way he comes face to face with his fears of war and destruction. This is the second title in the Travelers’ Tales Footsteps series.

Synopsis

A few years before the Berlin Wall came down, a Shinto priest in Japan broke a holy sword into 108 pieces. Readers get an inside view of Shinto ceremonies as the holy pieces are placed at sites to form a magnetic web of goodwill and positive energy.'
