About this product

Product Information

Over the centuries Shinto has evolved out of the worship of kami, the divine within the world. As one of the few ancient religions that still thrives, it is of interest to greater circles than Japan specialists, although it remains difficult to understand and even harder to characterize in western terms. The A to Z of Shinto traces its long historical evolution in the book's chronology and carefully considers the religion from different angles in the introduction. The dictionary includes hundreds of cross-referenced entries on significant institutions, concepts, writings, thinkers, and most importantly, the kami. The bibliography provides an outlet for further study.

This volume will make a useful addition to any reference collection....Useful to students and teachers unfamiliar with the history and the tradition., Picken (emeritus, Nagoya U. of Commerce and Business Administration) offers a reference on the controversial Japanese religion that lacks a debatable rational core and agreed doctrines to deal with moral or social problems of life or attitudes toward the environment. His research has suggested that earlier prejudices against it are waning, and that interest in it is growing worldwide as more than an academic subject., This volume will make a useful addition to any reference collection….Useful to students and teachers unfamiliar with the history and the tradition., This volume will make a useful addition to any reference collection .Useful to students and teachers unfamiliar with the history and the tradition.

My book arrived today in excellent shape thanks to fine packaging. It arrived much earlier than expected due to super fast packaging and shipment. It is exactly as described in both text and photo. This is super ebay seller. Thanks for a very smooth transaction and current communications. Good luck with your ebay ventures!

The book arrived so fast, was better than its advertisement, had the best price of all including shipping, and was delivered by the post office, which I prefer. I will use this book seller again. The seller rated the book “good” but the book is pristine and like new except for a harmless square-inch scrape. I couldn’t be happier!
