## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Straightforward and Insightful
*by J***E on December 10, 2023*

I've studied Japanese religion for a while, and this book is probably the most informative I have read on Shinto so far. It leans directly into historical sources and explains traditions well while admitting which areas have some uncertainty to them. Perfect to read, especially after visiting so many shrines and participating in New Year's traditions.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Highly Recommend this Book
*by C***  on July 22, 2022*

I highly recommend this book for anyone who wants to learn about Shinto, whether that be the faith in the Kami or the way of living that is still seen in Japan to this day. It gives lots of good, basic information on anything you might want to know. It is laid out all together in very plain and simple terms, one’s that are easy to understand. This is definitely a good book for beginners. It also gives you titles for other texts that are important to Shinto if you are interested in expanding your knowledge more.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good Introduction to ambiguity in Shinto beliefs and practices
*by K***G on December 8, 2017*

Good introduction to the concepts, or rather the seeming unclarity (?"ambiguity") that surrounds the concepts of Shinto (practitioners would dispute this interpretation of unclarity....such is the nature of 'faith') I came away thinking Kami means many different things to many different Japanese, and at multiple levels of of private and public life. Apparently there isn't a monolithic interpretation, or even notional/national orthodoxy that can apply to all. My initial and misconstrued past conception was that it was animism, but the system is unique to Japanese thinking.Apparently, there is no ancient codex (bible) to base on, its evolutionary past is complicated, But through reading this , I think I discern at play are the the underlying universal human motivations and needs.....that of community (of belief), native tribal identity, belief in a transcendent other world and need to subordinate oneself/appease/respect/worship/acknowledge dependence on ..... something/someone more spiritual in nature. In that sense it is no different to other religions. The manifestations as enunciated in the book, however, make an interesting read.
