Shinto is a traditional religion from Japan that focuses on the worship of kami, which are spirits or deities found in nature, objects, and ancestors. It emphasizes rituals, festivals, and offerings to honor these kami, fostering a connection between the spiritual and physical worlds. The practice of Shinto is often seen in shrines, where people can pray, make offerings, and participate in ceremonies. Unlike many religions, Shinto does not have a central scripture or founder, making it a unique and flexible belief system that coexists with other religions, such as Buddhism.
