Review
3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. a bare-bones introduction. but worth itBy Red PineappleAs someone who is interested in all things Japanese. I was really excited to read Dr. Sokyo Onos Shinto: The Kami Way. This book is held as the standard introduction to Shinto for Western readers. and for the most part. I wasnt disappointed. The author. a recognized expert on the subject. presents Shinto to the reader in plain. simple language. The bare essentials of Shinto are explored. including the architecture and layout of Shinto shrines and the rituals and festivals that are celebrated within. Unfortunately. I was seeking a more philosophical discussion of Shinto. and the author really only includes a short chapter in the back of the book that delves into the actual beliefs of Shinto. Still. the influence of Shinto on the daily life of the Japanese is addressed throughout the book and gives Western readers a glimpse into the way the Japanese have evolved along with their indigenous beliefs. I would recommend this book to all readers interested in world religions and philosophies. This is definitely a must-read for anyone who hopes to understand the Japanese people even a little bit.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. ths essential bookof shinto.By IAN SAKURA 7THIS BOOK IS AN EXCELLENT INTRODUCTION TO JAPANS MOST FOLLOWED RELIGION.

ONeilFirst impression. tiny book. TINY book! $11 bucks for an almost pamphlet sized "book". Ill adjust my review later after reading it. shouldnt take long!I settled on 4 stars after reading it through. Like so much in Japan. what seems simple proves complex and Vice a versa. Not much new knowledge for me yet somehow I feel better after reading it. I was married in a Shinto Shrine and lived in Japan for 5 years. always felt good in and around Shrines.The book leaves me wanting more but maybe thats a good thing.
