Shinto: The Kami Spirit World of Japan: The Japanese World of Kami Spirits Paperback – 23 May 2024

This religion is fairly short on theology, doctrine etc and books about Shinto are always likely to be short, this one was as comprehensive as it could be.

An excellent easily read introduction to what the west often misleadingly calls a religion, but to what the Japanese think of as just another aspect of everyday life.

A fine introduction to an ancient Japanese faith of Shinto.

This book explains shinto really well and is very informative. I wouldn't bother buying a great big book until you've read this.

I've been interested in Eastern religions for a while now and thought this would be a good introduction to Shinto. If you want a concise factual skeleton of the subject this is ok but it is rather dry (probably a result of translation) and shows it's age in the way it's written. It's impersonal and if, like me, you'd like to understand how Shinto works from an individual's perspective, this isn't the book for you.

just the book we wanted and at a very competitive price. we'd certainly recommend this vendor. thank you.

great

My product arrived on time. It was in a nice quality. It was a very informative book with a lot of exciting info about shinto. I would highly recommend it to others who are also interested in reading about what shinto is about and what cultural history it is shaped by.
