Bowing to the Spirits of Nature: Let’s Visit a Shinto Shrine

Dating back at least 2,500 years, Shinto is the indigenous religion of Japan. In this ritual-based tradition, people honor and pray to kami, which are divine spirits within the land and landscapes of Japan’s islands. With slides from his travels, Roger will introduce Shinto. In a ritual today, we will post our wishes, blessings or hopes to reflect the hanging of wooden plaques (called ema) at a shrine.
