43. Early Shinto Japan Glossary. thought and philosophy of the Tokugawa period in Japan (16001868), nothing says Japan like the shinto religion. http://www.wsu.edu:8000/~dee/GLOSSARY/SHINTO.HTM

thought and philosophy of the Tokugawa period in Japan (1600-1868), nothing says "Japan" like the Shinto religion. The Tokugawa "Enlightenment" inspired a group of thinkers who studied what they called kokugaku , which can be roughly translated "nativism," "Japanese Studies," or "Native Studies." Kokugaku was no dry as dust academic discipline as the term "Japanese Studies" seems to imply; it was a concerted philosophical, literary and academic effort to recover the essential "Japanese character" as it existed before the early influences of foreigners, especially the Chinese, "corrupted" Japanese culture. Recovering the essential Japanese character meant in the end distinguishing what is Japanese from what is not and purging from the Japanese culture various foreign influences including Confucianism (Chinese), Taoism (Chinese), Buddhism (Indian and Chinese), and Christianity (Western European). The kokugakushu ("nativists") focussed most of their efforts on recovering the Shinto religion, the native Japanese religion, from fragmentary texts and isolated and unrelated popular religious practices. shen : "spiritual power, divinity";

44. YASUKUNI JINJA Site to educate the public on this historical yet controversial shinto shrine in Tokyo. http://www.geocities.com/gatoesmuchogor/

YASUKUNI JINJA In the Kudan District of Chiyoda ward, Tokyo sitting on top of Kudan Hill is and old Japanese Shinto Shrine. Walking up to the Shrine, visitors see the characteristic torii gateway that serves as the entrance to all Shinto Shrines. Just beyond the entrance are a group of buildings that do not look much different from those in any other Shinto Shrine. But this is Yasukuni Jinja. This Shrine has been the topic of great controversy in Japan since the end of World War II. It is the home to the souls of more than 2.5 million Japanese war dead. Included among these 2.5 million souls are fourteen convicted Class A war criminals, including Tojo Hideki who was the Japanese War Minister during World War II. This page is dedicated to educating the public about this magnificent, yet controversial Shrine. STRUCTURE OF THE SHRINE Yasukuni was established in 1869. The original name of the Shrine was Sho-kon-sha, meaning "the shrine for inviting the spirits." The name was changed to its present name of Yasukuni Jinja in 1879. The actual physical structure of the Shrine is much like that of any other Shinto shrine. It has a torii gateway followed by a few different buildings that serve different religious or ceremonial purposes at the Shrine. The one significant difference at Yasukuni is the presence of Japan's only public modern military musuem, which opened in 1872. The museum contains many types of war vehicles, tanks, and weaponry. Those who support the Shrine believe this museum is a symbol of Japan's glorious military past. Those who oppose the Shrine say it is indeed a symbol of Japan's past, but it is a brutal and oppressive past.

SHINTO The Religion of Nature Worship, Emperor Worship, and Purity Shinto (the way of the gods), traditionally dating back to 660 B. C., is a loosely organized religion of the Japanese people embracing a wide variety of beliefs and practices. In its most basic sense Shinto is a religious form of Japanese patriotism. The mythology of Shintoism teaches that Japan and the Japanese people were brought into being by special divine creation and that their emperors were literally descendants of the Sun Goddess. In Japan a person may in good conscience be a Buddhist, a Confucian, and a member of a Shinto sect at the same time. Today (1982) Shintoism reports 57,154,200 members. The two most important sacred books of Shintoism are the Kojiki (Chronicles of Ancient Events) and the Nihongi (Chronicles of Japan). The Kojiki mythology reports that in the beginning were the kami (gods, mana, occult force). Two of these primeval kami or deities were Izanagi (male-who-invites) and Izanami (female who-invites). After giving birth to the land of Japan they produced many other kami.

The first shrine buildings here were probably erected in the 6th century. The present shrine dates from the 13th century and the harmoniously arranged buildings reveal great artistic and technical skill. The shrine plays on the contrasts in colour and form between mountains and sea and illustrates the Japanese concept of scenic beauty, which combines nature and human creativity.

GRAMMA Virtual Publicación de la Facultad de Historia y Letras de la Universidad del Salvador Año I Nº 2 Diciembre 2000 La lírica japonesa y Jorge Luis Borges Doctora Graciela Susana Puente 1. Las características del shinto; su fundamentación en el sintoísmo y en el taoísmo. Su influencia en el poema «Shinto» de Jorge Luis Borges Los registros más arcanos de la lírica japonesa son los cantos de tradición oral y los textos que se nuclean en el shinto. Es ésta una voz china que significa «camino de los dioses» de la cual deriva sintoísmo, religión primitiva del Japón, basada en el politeísmo dentro de la naturaleza (y vivificada por la gratitud de sus dones) y en el culto de sus ancestros. Dos obras son receptoras configurativas de los mitos sintoístas: el Nihongi y el Kojim , que incluyen oraciones rituales, baladas y leyendas míticas. El sintoísmo está influido por el taoísmo chino, doctrina teológica milenaria, cuyas originarias enseñanzas se remontan a la época de Lao-Tsé. El taoísmo ofrece dos aspectos dogmáticos: el científico, según el cual, un primer principio, concentrado e inactivo, el Tao, al mutarse en acto produjo el cielo, la tierra, y el aire, primordialidades de las que han derivado los entes y los seres. El Tao todo lo informa y ocupa; no piensa, pero sobre él se medita; no desea, pero es el principio organizador legal; es la fuente de emanación del destino personal; en cada ser se contiene el ánima indivisa y participante del principio universal. Según el ideologema pragmático, propone el taoísmo que el hombre ha de meditar según sus mayores posibilidades, dentro del tiempo concedido de existencia, para lograr que su encarnadura sea una vivencia hasta el término de vida. De esta postulación deriva el culto taoísta por la higiene, el régimen, la continencia.

It originated in prehistoric times and has long played an important role in Japanese society. The major shrines around the country have often been power bases, closely tied with Imperial and shogunal powers. Unlike the world's major religions, Shinto has no fixed dogma, moral precepts, or sacred scriptures. Perhaps for this reason, most Japanese quite easily incorporate Shinto into their way of life alongside Buddhism and even elements of Christianity without feeling a strong attachment to or having a passionate belief in any of them. Shinto is practiced at shrines (jinja), which are most easily distinguished from Buddhist temples by the torii gates that mark the entrance (photo). Shinto followers worship a huge array of kami (gods or spirits) which personify all aspects of nature, such as the sky, the earth, heavenly bodies, and natural phenomena. Sacred objects, such as rocks or trees, can be recognized by the shimenawa ropes and white paper strips attached to them. Many of the

A lot of people who are religious like to deny it. "Me? I am not religious", they say, "I know that Jesus is Lord... But that is not religious, it is a historical fact". They say. And Shintoist too, are particularly unlikely to see their behaviour as being "religious". They may have had their car purified, they may have asked their local god for good luck before their university entrance examinations, they are likely to go to a shrine every year on New Year's Day. But if asked if they are religious they will say, "Who me? This is not religion. This is just a custom. Just, well, the normal thing to do". ho ho.

What is Shinto? an explanation from Kannagara Jinja What is Shinto? The word Shinto is a combination of two terms - shin , meaning "god," and to , or do , meaning "way." Shin is the Chinese character for god and kami is the Japanese pronunciation of that character. Shin , or kami , means any divine being or anything in the world or beyond that can inspire in human beings a sense of divinity and mystery. Do can be the ordinary word for a road or it can have the same metaphorical meaning as in English, "way of life" or "way of God." Together, the terms mean, "the way of the kami ," which can also be written Kami no Michi . Shinto did not have a formal title until Buddhism came to Japan in the 6th century A.D., when a name had to be given to the older tradition to distinguish it from the new and foreign one. Buddhism then was called Butsudo, the way of the Buddha and to make clear what was what, the older folk way of worshipping kami came to be known as Shin-do , or simple Shinto , the way of the kami.
