Shinto Practice for Non-Japanese - Paperback

by David Chart (Author)

Shinto is the traditional religious practice of Japan, but that does not mean that non-Japanese cannot practise it. This short book contains two essays. The first, Shinto for Non-Japanese, discusses the attitudes of most Shinto priests and practitioners to non-Japanese who practise Shinto (generally positive), and a fairly general discussion of how one might go about doing it. The second, Practising Shinto Outside Japan, is a set of detailed instructions for one way that a non-Japanese person could practise Shinto outside Japan, and be clearly practising Shinto rather than something else. Note that this book is a compilation of two essays, one 7,000 words long and one 6,000 words long, and is thus very short.
