Shintoism

Shintoism, or Shinto, is the indigenous spiritual tradition of Japan, deeply rooted in nature worship, ancestral reverence, and a connection to the divine spirits known as kami. Unlike many organized religions, Shinto has no single founder, sacred scripture, or strict doctrine. Instead, it is a way of life that emphasizes harmony with nature, rituals for purification, and respect for the spirits that inhabit all things.
