History of Japan
Shinto is the indigenous spirituality of Japan, characterized by a deep reverence for kami, or spirits, found in nature and ancestral spirits. It plays a significant role in shaping Japanese culture, traditions, and social practices, particularly during the Yamato state and Kofun period when it intertwined with emerging political structures, as well as during the introduction of Buddhism and Chinese influences that later coexisted with Shinto beliefs.
