Description
An immersive look at Japan's indigenous religion and how it can impact our daily lives.

In The Spirit of Shinto, longtime Japan resident and bestselling author Hector Garcia (Ikigai: the Japanese Secret to a Long and Happy Life and The Book of Ichigo Ichie) offers an engaging introduction to the history, principles, and continuing influence of Shintoism in Japan. Garcia takes readers on a time traveling journey to witness Shinto's rich history and enduring cultural influence firsthand, as well as to discover ways Shinto can help us find harmony with nature and each other as we navigate our daily lives.

This unique book provides:

  • A fun, accessible introduction to Shintoism, including its history, mythology, gods, symbols, shrines, and rituals, beginning with a captivating time travel adventure
  • Insight into Shinto's influence in the West, particularly through popular anime, manga, and video games, highlighting its presence in contemporary culture
  • Practical "life lessons" on integrating Shinto concepts into everyday life to find harmony with nature and foster a deeper respect for others
  • An examination of how Shinto rituals and symbolism can refresh the human spirit and offer guidance for personal growth

Garcia's book underscores the things we all seek--a world that values and preserves nature and respects all living beings. Whether you're passionate about Japanese culture and spirituality or intrigued by its representation in anime and manga, this book is a compelling read that connects past and present in meaningful ways.
