Shintoism

Shinto - The Way of the Kami

The indigenous spiritual path of Japan, honoring the kami in all aspects of life.

Shinto, 'the way of the kami,' is Japan's indigenous spiritual tradition. More than a religion in the Western sense, it is a way of life honoring the divine in nature, ancestors, and all existence. Shinto provides the spiritual foundation of Japanese culture.

Shinto is not learned from books but absorbed through living in the presence of the kami.
