A sweeping survey traces Japan’s spiritual history from nature-worship and courtly rites to the arrival of Buddhism, the discipline of Confucian ethics, and the syncretic schools that followed. It explains myths, temples, festivals, and moral ideals, then shows how the Méiji reforms recast faith and nation—revealing a culture where shrine and everyday life interweave.
