Beautiful video, good voice,...

Just a smal note: it seems to me a little bit reductionist to just make 3 divisons or types of Kamis: spirits of nature, ancestors, and beings who have been "kamized". And the great gods, cosmological gods, like Ameno or Amaterasu? Just spirits of Nature? Also it doesn't fit to me completely to say they are just in this natural world. May be I would say that there is a spiritual world, from where the Kamis come to visit or bless us...

@petrustella Yes, good point . I was trying to give a simple short introduction. But I am not an expert just an interested student, I was trying to introduce what I had learned as best I could.

I visited KoyaSan last year and it's so beautiful and sacred.

One day I'll go back and do my first step on the ancient pelgrimage Kohechi

@petrustella I believe there is a heavenly realm in Shinto. I think it's called Takamagahara. However, I'm not entirely sure.
