Shinto

Shinto (神道, Shintō; Japanese pronunciation: [ɕiꜜn.toː][2]), also called Shintoism, is a Japanese religion originating in Japan. Classified as an East Asian religion by scholars of religion, it is often regarded by its practitioners as Japan's indigenous religion and as a nature religion. Scholars sometimes call its practitioners Shintoists, although adherents rarely use that term themselves. With no central authority in control of Shinto, there is much diversity of belief and practice evident among practitioners.
