Today: We Learn About Shinto! What is Shinto? Is it a religion? What beliefs are part of Shinto? What effect does Shinto have on the Japanese?

The History of Shinto The oldest known belief system in Japan May be as old as 1,000 BCE Has no book or laws like the Bible in Christianity or the Quran in Islam Was likely practiced by the Jomon, but the ideas would have been adopted and added to by the Yayoi after they reached Japan from Korea

Shinto: Links to Geography Believe that gods or spirits called ‘kami’ live in the world around us Kami can be anything that inspires ‘awe’ in people Can be found in things like mountains, rivers, oceans, stones, or in great people (past or present) Shrines are built to house these spirits

Links to the People Main ‘kami’ of Shinto is Amaterasu, the god of the sun During the Kofun Period, the Yamato clan claimed to be the descendents of Amaterasu This gave justification for their rule The emperor of Japan has been a member of the Yamato clan
