[Japan shinto]The Japan that Japanese dont know -The Kumano Kodo (Kumano Ancient Path)3 [1/2]

Photo by Koji Kusumoto at　時空を超える熊野古道

The host, a former British National turned Japanese, explores the Kumano Kodo, a religious holy area for Japanese Shintoists and Buddhists. Around Part 2 and Part 3 there is alot of things about Shintoism.

Shintoism is a native Japanese religion, older than any major religion, which accepts any belief - whether it be Christian, Islamic, Jewish, or whatever. It means Gods Path and is very open. If you believe Jesus is god, then that is your path. If you believe in yourself, you yourself is a god.

Shintoists do not go out and preach to anyone how things should be. Alternatively, they do not keep anyone or anything out. In a climate of religious hostility such as in Israel, Lebanon, Korea, it is nice to see a religion that is not, should I say competitive.

No he is right. It makes easier sense for us to translate Kami as god, but in the eyes of the Japanese it makes more sense to translate it as "spirit".

kami does mean god !!!! many subtile and hidden truth about shintoism were undiscovered so it is better to moderate when you speak about shinto and kami .thanks
