- Okay, so we need to present what Shintoism is for our world religion project. What exactly do we need to cover?
- I think we should start with the basics. What Shintoism is? It is a Japanese religion right?
- Yeah, it’s the indigenous religion of Japan. It’s not like other religions that have a holy book or a founder. It’s more about rituals and connecting with nature.

- They do not really worship Gods in the way we think. Instead, they believe in Kami, which are spirits of deities that inhabit natural things like rivers, mountains, and trees.
- SO HOW DOES THAT WORK?
- Exactly, Kami can also be ancestors or even certain objects. Basically, everything in nature has a spirit that should be respected.

- Yeah they visit shrines to pray, give offerings, and perform purifications rituals. You know, like washing their hands and mouth at a special fountain to cleanse themselves.
- That is cool! So when people go to a Shinto Shrine, they are visiting the Kami?
- And during festivals what do they call them again? Oh yeah, Matsuri people. It is like they are honoring the spirits and asking for blessings.
