Description

This comprehensive examination traces Shinto from its earliest origins through the modern era, offering the first critical overview of how this Japanese religious tradition shaped and reflected the nation's spiritual landscape across centuries. Unlike previous works focused narrowly on medieval Shinto, this book presents the complete historical arc, exploring Shinto's development through the early, medieval, pre-modern and modern periods. The essays address foundational topics including Shinto's relationship with Daoism in early Japan, its role in Japanese state ritual practices, its connection to the natural environment, and its complex interactions with Buddhism throughout medieval Japan. Part of the Routledge Studies in Asian Religion series, this scholarly work fills a significant gap in English-language Shinto scholarship by examining how the ways of the kami evolved across different historical periods and how Shinto maintained its cultural significance within Japan's broader religious context.

Key Features

Offers the first critical historical overview of Shinto from early times through the modern era, covering its complete development and place in Japanese religious culture.

Examines key topics including Shinto and Daoism in early Japan, Shinto's relationship with Buddhism in medieval Japan, and Shinto's role in Japanese state ritual.

Presents analysis across multiple historical periods - early, medieval, pre-modern and modern - rather than focusing on a single era as previous works have done.

Published by Routledge as part of the Routledge Studies in Asian Religion series, ensuring scholarly credibility and academic rigor.
