Kinro - Diligent Work
The virtue of working diligently as a form of spiritual practice.
In Shinto, diligent work (kinro) is itself a spiritual practice. Labor, performed with sincerity and attention, honors the kami and contributes to communal harmony. The work ethic is thus spiritual as well as economic.
In sincere labor, we participate in the creative work of the kami.
The spiritual value of work contributes to Japanese economic culture.
