Kami No Michi: The Way of the Gods in Japan is a comprehensive exploration of Shintoism, the indigenous religion of Japan. Written by Hope Huntly, the book delves into the history, beliefs, and practices of Shintoism, as well as its influence on Japanese culture and society. The book begins by tracing the origins of Shintoism, dating back to prehistoric times when the Japanese people worshipped nature deities and ancestor spirits. It then examines the evolution of Shintoism over the centuries, from the introduction of Buddhism to Japan in the 6th century to the modern era. Huntly also discusses the various rituals and ceremonies associated with Shintoism, including the purification rites, offerings to the kami (gods), and festivals such as the famous Gion Matsuri in Kyoto. She also explores the role of Shintoism in Japanese art, literature, and architecture, highlighting its influence on traditional Japanese aesthetics.The book also includes personal anecdotes and interviews with practitioners of Shintoism, providing a glimpse into the daily life of those who follow this religion. Overall, Kami No Michi: The Way of the Gods in Japan is a fascinating and informative read for anyone interested in Japanese culture, religion, and spirituality.1910. The desire of the author is to guide her readers faithfully along this time honored, half-obliterated Way of the Gods, clearing the path with reverent, not iconoclastic hands, because recognizing it as the way by which the Japanese were divinely led to their present mental altitude. The path is traced in threefold aspect - ethical, philosophical and romantic. The story trends towards a sensational crisis in order to emphasize life portraits known to the author while resident in the country.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
