Description: What is Shinto? is the key question asked by all who seek to understand Japan and the Japanese, answered in this volume by Sir Ernest Satow, the great British scholar and diplomat. Shinto is the unique and little-known religious beliefs that flourished in Japan before the introduction of Buddhism and Confucianism, but there are many versions. Which is the pure form? Satow begins with a detailed study of core Shinto rituals as revealed in ancient texts, which embody the deepest and oldest traditions of Shinto belief in divinity, national destiny and, above all, Japan's special favored status as "the country of the gods," beliefs that endure today behind the facade of Japan Inc. Shinto rites, incantations, sacred objects and symbols are described meticulously, with illustrations and translations by Karl Florenz. Satow then describes how the Ancient Way of Shinto survived centuries of foreign influence to be revived during the Meiji era, when it became the driving force behind the transformation of Japan into a world power.

Description: Over the centuries Shinto has evolved out of the worship of kami, the divine within the world. As one of the few ancient religions that still thrives, it is of interest to greater circles than Japan specialists, although it remains difficult to understand and even harder to characterize in western terms. The A to Z of Shinto traces its long historical evolution in the book's chronology and carefully considers the religion from different angles in the introduction. The dictionary includes hundreds of cross-referenced entries on significant institutions, concepts, writings, thinkers, and most importantly, the kami. The bibliography provides an outlet for further study.

Description: This reference work contains over 1000 entries on Shinto, ranging from brief definitions and Japanese terms to short essays dealing with aspects of Shinto practice, belief and institutions from early times up to the present day. Shinto regards itself as the ancient indigenous tradition of Japan, yet has gone through transformations even in the 20th century. The introduction considers the problematic notion of "Shinto" itself, while the main body of the dictionary explains terms relating to such matters as festivals, shrines, rituals, "kami", Shinto-related religious movements, significant events and key figures in the development of Shinto. The book contains explanations of Shinto terms, coverage of the dimensions of Shinto, and a religious studies approach to the subject which deals with Shinto ideas and practices.

Description: The subject of this volume is the historical development of shinto national thought in premodern and modern Japan. After examining the first instances of shinto-confucian syncretism in the early Edo period, the author investigates the function of shinto as a religious system to legitmize political power and explores how during the late Edo period this culminates in the concept of a specific Japanese national polity, "kokutai". Though the main caesurae in the process of modern Japanese history (for example, Meji restoration and the end of the Pacific War 1945) play a dominant role in this context, the author points out that the main historical, religious and ideological continuities are of much greater importance. Klaus Antoni asserts that the ideas and concepts elaborated by shinto thinkers during the Edo period became reality in modern Japan.
