S C A R C E Shinto is Japan's most primitive and basic set of beliefs not a religion as it lacks dogma & morals but is the foundation of the origin of the Japanese Imperial line and is the basis of Japan's spiritual life. KAMI Invisible God cosmogony of the "heaven and the earth" are main themes. This sutra was done during the time of Commodore Perry's historic visit to Japan. This holy scripture was written entirely in Japanese Kanji with much Furigana and is pronounced strictly in Japanese rather than any Chinese reading of the characters. The palm-sized Ori-hon folding-book is designed to be used by a Shinto disciple or follower while praying to Japan's native gods and spirits. Shinto WAY OF THE SPIRITS is the national belief of Japan is a mixture of the veneration of ancestors & nature worship. To loosely quote an excerpt from Papinot: "The Shinto mythology mentions a first God AME-NO-MINAKANUSHI Lord of the Middle of Heaven who remained motionless in the centre of the universe at the time of the creation or who according to others was the first born at Takama-ga-hara Plain of Heaven. After him come Takamimusubi Kamimusubi Umashi-ashikabi-hiko Kunito-kotachi Kunisatsuchi Toyokunu then a host of others finally the most famous are Izanagi & Izanami the two that created Japan and an infinite number of Gods. Of them were born Amaterasu-o-mikami.who sent her grandson Ninigi-no-mikoto to rule over Japan. He is the great-grandfather of Jimmu-tenno the first Emperor. Shinto has personified all the forces and all the phenomena of nature and sought to render them propitious; whence the Gods of the wind of the sea of the mountains of epidemics &c. It even added to them Gods of food kitchen the hearth &c. In the beginning there was no other temple but the Imperial Palace. The readings and ceremony consists of purifications & ablutions." See Papinot citation below. Often Japanese will throw a handful of salt to purify their home or establishment after a bad experience part of this purification practice. The temple of Ise was the first erected outside of the Palace for Shinto worship outside the Palace. The three treasures are the mirror sword & the jewel. Absent of metaphysical dogma Shinto was challenged in 552 by the introduction of Buddhism with its higher moral code. There are 163861 Shinto temples in Japan. Capt. F. Brinkley in his historic A HISTORY OF THE JAPANESE PEOPLE devotes substantial space to this all important & most primitive of Japanese beliefs. Works of this period woodblock printed on the very special mica-flecked hand-made Washi paper are truly rare and seldom if ever found on the market for sale. When thoroughly worn out they are usually burned at the end of the year in as an offering rather than kept. Prey few old examples remain due to this reason. There are also Shinto rituals related to the purification and acquisition of Japanese Samurai swords. A great example of Japan's oldest and most unique and native pantheon. BIBLIOGRAPHY: Capt. F.
