The Life And Thought Of A Shinto Priest
by
Guji Yukitaka Yamamoto
You can read the autobiographic story of the 96th shinto priest of Tsubaki Grand Shrine in Mie Prefecture in Japan
Story of his life, how he survived WWII, and worked for peace after.Shinto is as old as the mountains of Japan. It is the way in which the natural spirituality of the Japanese people finds its expression. It is as close to the Japanese people as life itself. Indeed, it is a way of expressing the flow of life as you will see.
This book is about Shinto. It is also about people. Shinto is not easy to understand, even in the case of Japanese for whom it is the basis of life. I would like you to try to understand what Shinto is, a little of how it developed (and our shrine with it) and where it is today.
