Ancient Japanese religion.


SHINTO


Ancient Japanese
religion.
Amorphous (without regular form)  mix.


Nature,
Fertility,
Divination,
Hero worship,
Shamanism.


No real founder,
No written scripture,
No body of religious law.


Kami's child.
Shinto gods are called kami.
The Sun Goddess Amaterasu
is considered Shinto's
most important kami.


Sacred places:
waterfalls,
streams,
mountains,
sacred straw rope,
stretched between the
gateway, torii.


Affirmations:


Tradition and family


Love of nature


Physical cleanliness


Matsuri.


Shinto shrines:


Pillar


Hut


Mountain


Funnel



Shinto,
spiritual ideals
of
purity
and
simplicity.


Shinto.

Thanks for sharing Sage. Love the pic and poem. It always amazed me the fact that Shinto as with other Japanese beliefs worship the elders as gods. They have great respect for their seniors.
