I was quite curious about Shinto while I was studying abroad in Japan. One day, we went on a guided tour of Kamakura to learn about temples and shrines. Our guide was an older Japanese woman, and her perspective on religion was quite interesting. When I asked about why Japanese people visit both shrines and temples, she said “they’re the same. Emperor Meiji tried to separate them, but in our hearts they’re the same.” It’s worth noting that this woman identified as Buddhist, but practiced both. Other people I met were non religious, but still visited temples and shrines as more of a personal ritual
Good insight! I hope you enjoy Ep. 2 on this topic!
The thing I was told when I was there was that Japanese people are typically born Shinto, marry Christian and die Buddhist, mainly as a reference to which rites are performed at each of those major life events.
@@dalegaliniak607 ah yes, we even had that saying in one version of the episode! It's pretty popular. You might enjoy Ian Reader and George Tanabe's 1999 book "Practically Religious," which takes up that idea.
Dale Galiniak I think that’s because Shinto ritual primarily deals with purification and blessings, while Mahayana Buddhism deals with human suffering and death. Hence why marriage is traditionally Shinto and funerals are traditionally Buddhist. Although, more modern Japanese people are opting for western style weddings in churches these days
This is also a phenomenon among Han Chinese people, people could and often do practice ancestral worship with local rites, consider Confucian values, visit Buddhist shrines, use Taoist amulets, etc... even identifying as atheists, people could indulge in practices that may be considered religious, either as a cultural practice or simply for luck
As a Japanese person, I think Japanese people unconsciously count every sacred being in the world as "Shinto countless gods".
That is why we celebrate Christmas, listen to the temple bells, and go to shrines to greet the New Year. Many of us have been taught to eat even every grain of rice because God is in it.
As a Christian, I think this is beautiful!
Hinduism also has a similar belief of how different religions are just different ways of worshipping a universal divine force.
I remember hearing there were 7 kami in rice alone
Sounds like what many Indians believe. Especially the thing about rice. We believe God's has written the person's name who is supposed to eat that grain.
Why dont you fast, go to mosque or do pilgrimage to Mecca?
“Spirited Away” is how I was introduced to Shinto. Excellent Video!
Actually, me too! ^^; (researcher/co-writer)
For me it was Totoro
for me, Inu-Yasha too! hahah

Right? There are many anime that touch the subject.
Your channel is such a breath of fresh air during these trying times. I want to give you a high five.
*imaginary high five* Thanks Jon.
These trying times.
Kind of feels like I'm in the 6th century again.

@@denizmetint.462 ...again?
Can I offer you an egg in these trying times?
I recently read "The life changing magic of tidying up". To my non-expert eye, it had a lot of Shinto elements: purification, gratitude, and many rituals. The author mentions that she was a shrine maiden for many years. You might want to do a video about the Shinto influences on Marie Kondo.
I'd love to do an episode on Marie Kondo--I actually give a lecture at my uni on Shinto and pop culture that includes Kondo. You might like this podcast episode with Dr. Jolyon Thomas from the University of Pennsylvania! share.transistor.fm/s/2ed47766
I thought that too. Particularly the act of thanking and releasing items, as if they had indwelling spirits.

I visited the Inari temple last year. I highly recommend it! But also while I was in Japan I learned that there are A TON of cults. When I was leaving Tokyo Disneyland I had to walk through a line of people trying to get me to join their cult just outside. It was wild.
Yeah, we debated having an entire video on Shinto New Religious Movements, but I decided each movement would need its own episode.
@@ReligionForBreakfast that sounds awesome! im looking forward to it!
When you say cult do you mean "sipping the kool-aid" type or just small new religious group trying to get its footing type?
@@ninja34744 It's a mix of both.
@@ninja34744 A lot of people, unfortunately, don't see much of a difference between the two, or don't even know that their is one. Which means a lot of religious movements get unfairly demonised.
Shinto shrines are more approachable from another religion. It took me many more attempts to be comfortable inside a Buddhist temple. For me it helped to think about the religions wisdom, and not the spiritual.
PS. The uncomfortable feeling of not being allowed to be there was from my own religion, NOT that they didn't allowed me or accept me.

I didn't even realize that the names of the super special techniques in Naruto are named after the first kami.
Most of the stuff in naruto is based on japanese myths. It's like the avengers of japanese folktales.
A lot of japanese media is based on shinto/buddhist/taoist kamis, spirits, youkai and people.
Yep, though it’s not all the special techniques, only the Sharingan powers: Amaterasu, Susano, and Tsukuyomi.
As far as I know Amaterasu is not the first kami (if you mean Amaterasu) but she is one of the most important since she is the goddess of the sun
What a great Video!
I'm a Nikkei (person of Japanese descent) from Brazil, I've lived in Japan for 3 years when I was a child, and seeing the sight of so many shinto Shrines is very nostalgic for me, I'm really glad to learn a little more about the culture of my Great grandparents' home country.

I had to learn about Shintō a bit back for a Japanese history class. Interesting stuff, especially how it relates to usage in the Japanese state.
Ah I hope you'll enjoy Ep. 3!
You should cover other Religions of East as well, Including Confucianism, Taoism, Buddhism and Hinduism. Also, I would love it if you did an overview of Hellenic religion (The pagan religion of Greece and Rome) as well.
That's the plan! ^_^
Is Confucianism a religion ?
Luke Cage religion and philosophy
PhilosophyTube did an interesting video on Confucius.
Tks, I’ll look it up. From what I know, followers of Confucius don’t see it as a religion.
Great insight into shinto. All my previous exposure to it was anime, really.
and japanese video games for me lol
I keep thinking of Princess Mononoke, at the end where the Forest Spirit is decapitated and the woods begin to rot, and of all those little kami falling out of the trees as they die. And I think on how that movie came out in 97, and how humanity didn't learn and continued to harm the planet. If Shinto has a scintilla of truth to it, we're overdue a world ending catastrophe. And we may be at the start of it.
Great video though. Big thumbs up
We're more than "at the start of it". We're two-thirds of the way into it. Climate change, soil degredation, water waste, oceanic destruction, and a generalised extinction event. Whether there's any truth to Shinto or not, we're doomed.
@@brooktu4249
Personally the thing I hate about the climate movement is they seem to be no different from a doomsday cult.
If there is one thing humanity is good at is turning around things that is screwing them over.
Back then recieving a small cut is lethal and it took months to get from New York to London for exampled.
@King Henry VIII Tudor With respect, the thing you misunderstand about our current climate situation is that our chance at turning things around is long past. There were scientists telling us we needed to change our ways back in the early to mid 20th century. History shows quite clearly that we did nothing about those warnings.
To truly understand the climate situation you must understand how many vast and insurmountable problems there are to deal with. For every solution you come up with, I can show you at least two catastrophic situations that will cancel out your efforts.
The ecosystem we depend on has been wrecked, by our own greed and short-sightedness. Scientists tell us we are living in an extinction level event. These are not the claims of a cult; They are the statistical facts. In that light, the panic people are experiencing over climate-disaster is completely justified. Like me, they worry for their future; for their children.
It's a sad, awful situation, but, to be annoyed with people for recognizing what the future holds for us all is, both, futile and counter-productive. Join us and worry about this, too. :-)
@@brooktu4249 if you’re right about the scale of catastrophe then it is still a doomsday cult-but with more precision than the average.
@@polyhistorphilomath While I very much appreciated the humour of your comment, it's not contextually accurate.
If a ship is sinking, and many passengers and crew gather to talk about what to do next, we don't call that group a 'cult': We call them very sensible people.
The movement to confront climate-change is not, by definition, a cult. There is no founding leader whose words and deeds are venerated and obeyed. There are no special rituals to practice, other than good science and planning. There are no prophecies; only statistical predictions. And, there is no promise of an afterlife; only the selfless promise of a better life for ALL those who come after.
I think these things make the effort to address climate-change something more heroic than mere cultism.
You still made me laugh out loud though :-)
This was really cool! I've never heard someone explain Shinto so well. I'm looking forward to the coming episodes!
The first time I ever saw anything related to Shinto was on the Ninja Turtles 3 movie where they were teleported to feudal japan by a magic scepter.
I'm so glad you are making this into a series. I feel like Shinto is one of the hardest religions to actually study and get hard info on a lot of the time
Hi, RFB Shinto series co-writer Kaitlyn here! Thanks so much, I'm glad to hear you enjoyed the video! ^_^
Shinto sounds like the pre-colonial Philippine religion with anito and diwata, except Philippine religion also had gods. Ooh you should make a video about that
Philippine ancient religion (to me, I think) only faintly lingers in folktales and what little myth we have. Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if what we call as "pre-colonial Philippine religion" actually is just a blanket term used to describe the different religions that predated Islam or Catholisism in the region. Yet we identify this plethora of religions as a single, unifying religion, unaware of the context that "Filipinos" then identified themselves to different kingdoms and indigenous tribes.
I mean, at one point, Islam was the prevailing religion in the country, extending as far as Manila itself, but this influence of Islam is hardly ever seen in the upper islands of the archipelago, unless you really look at it. So it's a challenge for us Flipinos to even grasp what may have been.
@@pomtubes1205 can't agree with you more. It's more of a common set of beliefs than just one religion (eg Tagalog, Bicol, Bisaya, Manobo, Ilocano, etc peoples all had separate pantheons with similar elements). There's a lot of Indian (and maybe Chinese) influence (diwata for example comes from devata).
As for Islam, it's more of a 15th-16th century thing. Maynila's relationship with Brunei (Brunei took over in 1500) is the primary reason why Islam was seen as far as Luzon, but its main centers were still in Sulu and Maguindanao.
Regardless, it's still important I think for us to look into the religion of the past. Centuries of syncretism have also infused our take of Christianity with pre-colonial concepts (anting anting, for example). An academic look into how religion transformed in the Philippines would be, to put it scientifically, "very neato"
Agree!
@@redflags6583 This all sounds super interesting, I'm Malaysian and have never known anything about the native pre-colonial religious practices in PH. I know here in Malaysia the ancient practices still exist in some form in some of our indigenous tribes and parts of Indonesia, and has some similarities with Polynesian practices as well. I would be curious to know if those pre-Christianity practices in PH have any similarity. BTW, what is anting anting in PH? Here it just means earrings 🤣
Been waiting eagerly for this! Thanks for the great introduction to this topic!
So awesome to see series' starting on here! Can't wait for all of this one, and whatever you do next. You've got an amazing channel, and absolutely love it.
Looking forward to the rest of this series! Great work!
loving this series so much already. hope you're doing really well and thriving despite the difficulties 2020 has thrown at all of us!
Thank you for all the work you do and the content you create to advance understanding. The world needs more people with your mindset.
One of my favourites channels talking about a content that I love, what a nice surprise. You're awesome Andrew.
I really enjoy this series! Thank you!
Been waiting for this. Love your videos. Informative, referenced and polished. Thank you.
You're awesome. I love how clear you are with your explanations and always respectful of the values behind the ideologies.
I have read "Shinto the kami way". It was a pretty good book. A lot of it was about respecting your ancestors and being benevolent and kind to other people. One really good book that I have read is the Kojiki. There are some really cool tales in the Kojiki.
I love these videos. They give me insight on scholarship; definitive reflection on life, spirituality, and moral statutes.
This is a wonderful series! Look forward to this!
You guys should do a video on Romuva, it is a revival of Lithuanian folk religion before its conversion. It reminds me of Shinto kind of since its a religion indigenous to where it’s practiced and Lithuania’s history with religion is interesting in general
Love that you are covering Shinto! It’s fascinating! Where I live, in Northwestern Washington state we have the Tsubaki Grand Shrine of America! I love visiting, a wonderful and serene place, the priest there is very friendly! Thanks again for doing this series!
Ah I think you will enjoy Ep. 4, we mention Rev. Barrish at Tsubaki! Such a beautiful place and friendly man ^_^
Well done as always RFB! really looking forward to this series on Shinto!
It felt like yesterday with him thanking for 100 000 subs. I love the progress you've made.
Awesome work, sir. I always look forward to your content, and it is sorely needed now more than ever.
This is without doubt the very best and certainly the most informative, indepth video on Shinto I have come across. Really great.
Hi, RFB Shinto series co-writer Kaitlyn here! Thanks so much, I'm glad to hear you enjoyed the video! ^_^
Wonderfully done! And your pronunciation was quite good, too. Shintô is a complex, wondrous, sometimes frightening tradition. Looking forward to the next episodes.
Just wanted to also voice my excitement for this series! I actually just discovered your channel about a month ago and immediately searched for a shinto video. I was like man he doesn't have it, maybe one day. Then boom, here you are and here it is. Blew my mind when you announced it. Thank you for all these amazing and high quality videos!
What a coincidence! Welcome to the channel.
@@ReligionForBreakfast thank you! I'm happy to be here. I've loved religious studies ever since I left my childhood home town and realized religions other than Christianity existed. The world's wisdom is so inspirational and every belief has something to teach us about the human condition. Your channel is an amazing example of what's out there!
Incredibly well done!
When I made a video studying the story of Amaterasu and the Cave with the help of a friend who practices Shinto, I definitely found the importance of harmony that you mentioned.
The history covered here was a great supplement to my mythological knowledge! I think I’ll really enjoy this series.
Awesome! I gained a vague interest in Shinto and Japanese religious affiliation after I read a bit about it on Wikipedia when I wanted to learn more about the Japanese emperor, but I never really acted on that interest. Very glad that you're making videos on it
So excited for this series 😊
I kinda wish Shinto was the main worldwide religion. Shrines are really cool.
@@paradisecityX0 YHWH is the holy spirit from him we all came and became one with the main Elohim from which we dream.
ive been waiting for this video, love your work!
Love your videos, high level and unbiased world religious studies that are easy to listen to, you got a new sub here 🥰🙏
This is so awesome and the topic was perfectly introduced.
Thank you religion guy I really enjoyed this! I've always been curious about shinto and this helped me understand it better
I’m super excited for you to do this one I actually know a lot already but I’m excited to see what I don’t know.
Awesome videos! I hope you continue the series on explaining non-major religions.
Fifteen years I am living in Japan and doing what you said , that means visiting many temples and all , but I never had a clear idea of this Shinto 😄😄😄 thanks for a quick intro . 👍
I'm so happy that you gotta to do this and I gotta to watch it ☺️
Love your videos, keep up the great work!
Shinto has a lot of parallels with certain kinds of European Polythism (from what we know). It's also interesting how Shinto went through various small reforms and it's modern version has parallels with modern neopaganism/ Polytheist reconstruction
I love this channel! Amazing research
Thank you for a brilliant introduction.
You are awesome young man. A great teacher spreading awesome information and divine intelligence. Aloha
Looking forward for the next videos!!!
Love this channel! Thank you ✨✨✨
Excellent, very informative!
Thanks for a great video as always. I live in Japan and it pleases me that you have done a satisfactory job studying it. I learned new facts from this video. Most Japanese never talk about this sort of thing. Many may see it as unimportant to their lives. It is fascinating to me.
Great video! I truly enjoy your channel. Theology, mythology, folklore and the common threads between them throughout human history is something that I find fascinating.
When you look at these topics through a archeological or evolutionary lens it seems as though all civilizations reach the religious equivalent of the fire, wheel, triangle and so forth.
I don't exactly have many people willing to converse on these topics, at least that dont give me a "wtf" look.
Thank you for all your hard work and providing such insight in a digestible form that I can listen while completing daily tasks. 👍👍
Thanks for covering!
FOODGE YEAH! One of the best, if not THE best religion channel on UA-cam posted a Shinto video and that as the start of a series. Man, this gonna be great.
I'm a Sri Lankan. Theravada Buddhist ... I watch all episodes which relate to Buddhism. I give honor to you BCS your videos talk about the most realistic Buddhism and actually what it is... I'm so impressed with your studies and understand about it. The due respect pls do an episode about Theravada Buddhism .... BCS is according to Buddha and my belief showing the path to real satisfaction and the end of suffering of humans is the most valuable help you can do to another human...Then you will be a "Kalyana Mithara" to many more intellectual humans seeking the ultimate truth... I may Bless you with Nobal Triple Jem to obtain " Nirwana " as soon as possible...
Great video. Shinto sounds really complicated but very interessting.
Nice job on this. You explained Shinto and some of the ways that it is different from religions with which your viewers are probably more familiar, without falling into the common trap of making Japan seem bizarre or weird. You might consider also looking into omikoshi and how they are similar to/different from shrines.
Good introductory video.
Thank you for this resource
Keep it up
I AM BLESSED EXCEEDINGLY ABUNDANTLY
Awesome. Thanks for this!
I've definitely love your channel for teaching me about religion and history in a more in-depth manner and you did give me quite a number of insights on things I've questioned regarding my religion. I used to be a Catholic but now I consider myself as somewhat of an Agnostic but I really don't talk about that so much since I live in a very religious and conservative country.
Thank you for your message Fin and sharing your religious journey. My mission with this channel has always been to explore the world's religions in a nonsectarian manner for the purpose of advancing religious literacy. I'm glad it has made an impact.
I have the same story like you. Glad I'm not alone.
@@ReligionForBreakfast I hope you will have a lot of subscribers soon. Greetings all the way from PH. Non sectarian religious literacy for the win! 🕊️
Yeah I’ve seen Spirited Away I’m already an expert on yukai
I played Nioh, I'm basically a shinbutsu priest now
*yokai
Finallllllly. I run into shinto witnessing in Japan quite often.
Thank you, for this video (I've been curious about Shintoism), and the channel (it's one of the few ways I can fanboy over Religious Traditions)
Can’t wait for the remaining Shinto videos.
Heard a Japanese guy say that Shinto isn’t considered “religion” in Japan because it’s a “nature religion.” It has no founder, no sacred scriptures, and whatnot. So the word they use for “religion” doesn’t apply to Shinto, which is why so many people who participate in it don’t consider themselves religious.
Yes, in fact most of east Asia doesn't cosider themselves religious, because they don't view their "religions" as religious compared to islam or christianity. They consider a religion as a doctrine and when they get labeled as religious, they get a little offended and would think "eww, no, I'm not that".
That applies to other east Asian "religions" such as buddhism, konfucianism, daoism, maybe even hinduism but I'm not sure about that one. They view their "religions" rather as ways of life and philosophies, not just praising a god creator and doing what some book says.
However none can say that these religions/philosophies/ways haven't had an impact on their societies. It shaped their traditions, holidays, their interaction between one another and whatnot.
I was waiting for this
Excellent videos.
Interesting, in my homeland, gods and fairies are almost interchangeable like how "kami" is defined.
In my native language the gods and such beings are immortalized into everyday objects found in nature like rocks, the stars, the weather, storms and even in some phrases/idioms.
Each region also has their own version of gods and beings. Yet we all have a fear or a superstition to always address an unfamiliar place by saying "(excuse me) just passing through, just passing through" or something similar. It is to either address to whoever is there, especially the property owner, that the passersby is not trespassing nor being disrespectful.
We also have a superstition or respect that certain structures not made by man, should not be touched (without permission) or disturb or incur a curse or worse.
I do the same thing with addressing unfamiliar places but I think that's just because I'm paranoid lol 😅
I love your channel so much
Thank you professor!
Yes. New vid!!!
The kami also remind me of what became of the Tuatha De Danann, those that survive live in far corners or distant places away from people.
The tori gate also remind me the "sidhe" mounds which are not too different in purpose.
There's some interesting research out there on similarities between Shinto and Celtic mythology, as well as Greek-Irish writer and folklorist Lafcadio Hearn's experiences in Japan!
Woahhhh I'm so glad t be this early. Love your videos.
Great Job!
I'm here because, Shintoism is my topic for my final demo🥺 Hoping and praying a successful final demo teaching 😇
You doing this video as got me thinking could you do a video analyzing shinto themes in some studio ghibli movies like Spirited Away?
Episode 5 will do exactly this!
Tune in for Ep. 5! ;)
This makes me so happy ❤️ I like most of your videos, but I love this.
❤️⛩️kami-no-michi ⛩️❤️
Awesome upload 🔥
"Shinto and Anime"
I have to laugh that the topic warrants its own video, that I am still going to watch.
It’s one of my most requested guest lectures 😅
The anime Mushi-shi is heavily influenced by Shintoism. It is worth watching if that's your cup of tea.
so hyped for this one honestly
hope it will clear most of the confusions i have with the theme of spirituality in anime
@@yanstein8464 I hope so too! We’ll do a deep dive into Miyazaki’s comments on religion and spirituality and then look at how different audiences interpret his films. In the meantime, you might enjoy my article on this topic :) beneaththetangles.com/2019/09/23/studio-ghibli-films-leave-room-for-a-range-of-religious-interpretations/
@@poppingjapan9202 oh, it's quite interesting, gonna give it a read
The Fushimi Inari Shrine was one fo the most incredible places I've visited!
I like this channel because it presents a religion outside of what most people consider to be a religion. Shinto can be described as a nature religion. That is assigning gods were spirits to things in the natural world. Many of us know about names from ancient Greek or Northern European mythology from popular films/TV. Such as Hercules, Thor and Neptune/Poseidon. Those ancient mythologies were also religions. And those ancient religions included spirits or gods for everything that could be seen in nature, a lot like Shinto.
Thanks for this video :)
I'm really excited to be learning about Shinto.
During your live stream you were talking about a plan to talk about South American religions like the Maya. Are you going to explore the Olmecs at all?
Thanks for the videos!
I love how this community is so connected it's unlike other youtube channels
You should start a podcast
its such a beautiful lifestyle/tradition
Very interesting 👍🏼
I love that collectables is a part of Shinto
