Zustand: Good. 1st Edition. 1st ed., 30th printing ; 116 pages : illustrations ; 19 cm ; ISBN 9780804835572, 0804835578 ; OCLC 60565703 ; pictorial stiff paper wrappers ; Contents: The Kami Way -- Shrines -- Worship And Festivals -- Political And Social Characteristics -- Some Spiritual Characteristics ; "An excellen…tly rounded introduction by an eminent Shinto scholar."--Library Journal ; Shinto, the indigenous faith of the Japanese people, continues to fascinate and mystify both the casual visitor to Japan and the long-time resident. Relatively unknown among the religions of the world, Shinto: The Kami Way provides an enlightening window into this Japanese faith. In its general aspects, Shinto is more than a religious faith. It is an amalgam of attitudes, ideas, and ways of doing things that through two millennia and more have become an integral part of the way of the Japanese people. Shinto is both a personal faith in the kami--objects of worship in Shinto and an honorific for noble, sacred spirits--and a communal way of life according to the mind of the kami. This introduction unveils Shinto's spiritual characteristics and discusses the architecture and function of Shinto shrines. Further examination of Shinto's lively festivals, worship, music, and sacred regalia illustrates Shinto's influence on all levels of Japanese life. Fifteen photographs, numerous drawings and Dr. Ono's text introduce the reader to two millennia of indigenous Japanese belief in the kami and in communal life. ; William Parsons Woodard, was born in Kalamazoo, Michigan.
