Kami and Shinto: Nature's Spirits in Japanese Culture | SLICE

Описание: From November to March, winter exerts its harsh yet magnificent presence in Japan. Nature holds significant importance here, as each natural phenomenon—every tree, river, and rock—is believed to be inhabited by a spirit known as Kami.

Japanese spirituality is primarily influenced by two religions: Buddhism and Shinto. Shinto is characterized by its reverence for nature and the spirits that dwell within it. It represents a blend of beliefs and rituals without a centralized scripture like the Bible or a doctrine dictating conduct. Rather than a single deity, Shinto acknowledges a multitude of spirits revered by the people. Throughout Japan, Shinto shrines are abundant, each dedicated to its own unique spirits.
