  • "Using archival and current footage and images, interviews and re-enactments, explores the rituals and ceremonies of Japan's Shinto, which is rooted in prehistoric times, mythology and folk rituals, but has no congressional worship, founder or organizing doctrine. Looks at shrine Shinto (local shrines, seasonal festivals, cultural influence), sect Shinto (organized institutions with members), and folk Shinto (beliefs and practices apart from these institutions, especially in the home), and the way these traditions have unified Japan, and sometimes mobilized it politically. Also discusses the dynamic in Japanese religions in the last century and a half."@en
