In this respect, Japan’s Shinto and Buddhist heritage plays an important role.
Shinto involves the worship of Kami.
Shinto is a set of religious beliefs and practices native to Japan and was first recorded in the 8th century.
Shinto’s main aim is to keep in harmony with the surrounding world by showing respect for the kami that inhabit it.
This may be linked to Japan’s Shinto religion, whose followers regard all things as having spirits.
While Buddhism and Shinto are officially separate, in reality most people practice them together.
