    Extractions: Shintoism World war II saw a setback within Shinto ("the Way of the Gods") Japan. Emperor worship began to decline as Western presence and values began to reshape the post-war country. But religious tradition dies hard and there exists many factions of Shintoism in Japan today. Appreciation and communion with the natural world are among the noble virtues of Shintoism. Japanese nature poetry, often short, expresses the Japanese affection for creation: "E'en in a single leaf of a tree Manifests itself." A part of community and Japanese culture, nature festivals such as the Insect Hearing Festival occur seasonally. Thousands of Japanese will sit outdoors for hours in the fall, listening to the music of the insects. In early spring, shops are closed occasional during the cherry blossom season that the Japanese people can go outdoors to drink in of the lush pink beauty. Others stare for hours at the moon or contemplate the beauty of a garden (Japanese gardens are famous) or even study the intricacies of a leaf. The Shinto affection for all things natural has brought the creative side out in the Japanese who have a keen sensitivity even to the various pitches of running water. Rocks are arranged within streams to arrive at the desire musical effect.

    Extractions: Subjects Titles Authors ... Latest University of Hawaii Press 2004 A book review by Danny Yee Shinto: The Way Home is a broad overview, situating Shinto in the context of Japanese culture and history and of broader approaches to spirituality and religion. It avoids being trapped in any narrow conception of Shinto, whether confessional-dogmatic or Orientalist-romantic. Kasulis begins with elements of Shinto that are accessible to outsiders, with "the experience of wondrous mystery" and "the kami path" to awe-inspiring presence, which is often marked by torii gates and shimenawa ropes. Most Japanese say they are Shinto, but most are also Buddhist and few describe themselves as "religious"; this is because shūkyō ("religion") is a relatively recent coinage which Much of Shinto is interwoven with broader Japanese culture. Kasulis looks at the key place of rice, the emphasis on naturalness and simplicity, and the role of purification and taboo. (Buddhism is associated with death, Shinto with birth.) Much of this is what he calls "existential Shinto", practices which Japanese would not consciously identify as Shinto, but he also explores some of the times, places, and instruments of more explicit, and sometimes prescriptive, "essentialist Shinto". Three chapters then present a history of Shinto. There are also non-literary sources for pre-Heian Japan, but two early chronicles provide evidence for early Japanese religion

    Extractions: (The consort of Emperor Meiji) Meiji Jingu is the Shinto shrine dedicated to the divine souls of Emperor Meiji and his consort, Emperor Shoken. Emperor Meiji passed away in 1912 and Empress Shoken in 1914. After their demise, people wished to commemorate their virtues and to venerate them forever, and so this shrine was constructed, and their souls were enshrined on November 1, 1920. It consists of three areas: Naien, or the inner precinct, centred on the shrine buildings; Gaien, or the outer precinct, which includes the Meiji Memorial Picture Gallery and sports facilities; and the Meiji Memorial Hall. These areas are covered by an evergreen forest of 120,000 trees of 365 different species, which were donated by people from all parts of Japan when the shrine was established. This 700,000 square-meter forest is visited by many people both as a spiritual home of the people and as a recreation and relaxation area centre of Tokyo.

    Extractions: I'm sure you're all wondering what the frack happened to this website today. You could load up most web pages, but nobody could post anything to the forum, and some database-driven features didn't show up at all. Late last night, I logged in to the server to check my e-mail, only to find that the root filesystem was mounted read-only because of the above aborted journal entry. So static web pages loaded just fine, but anything trying to open an SQL or Berkeley database file in read/write mode would fail. No e-mail could flow while the server was like this, either. When I built this server, I stupidly chose the default partitioning structure: everything in one filesystem. It's a move I've been regretting ever since. When the journal failed, it wasn't confined to just one part of the filesystem, it borked the whole thing. I couldn't unmount the ailing filesystem and run an

    Extractions: Shinto The Japanese mythology relates that there was the goddess of the sun and the ruler of the heaven named Amaterasu Amaterasu peeked out from behind a jumbo rock blocking the cave's entrance. The dancing goddess held up a mirror and said, "We are dancing to celebrate for a new goddess." Amaterasu came out to see the new goddess, but what she saw was her own reflection. A powerful god grabbed her out and told never to hide again. Amaterasu . Though not often referred to today, the Japanese calendar year starts from 660 B.C., the year of his accession. The reigning emperors were considered to be the direct descendant of the Sun Goddess and revered as a living god at one time or another. When the Pacific War was imminent in 1940, the fascist government was boasting it was the year of 2600 to exalt the national prestige, and it even made a song cerebrating the 2600th year. Entering the medieval ages, emperors and Shinto lost the reigning power and the nation was gradually controlled by the military rulers. The process of blending Buddhism with Shinto progressed, and in the Heian Period (794-1185) Shinto deities came to be recognized as incarnation of the Lord Buddha. The case in point was emerging of the syncretic school that combined Shinto with the teachings of the Shingon sect Buddhism. The basis of the school's belief was that Shinto deities were manifestation of Buddha divinities. Most important was the identification of the Sun Goddess Amaterasu
