Shinto

The Way of the Gods

About this book

The native religion of Japan set out by the scholar who first made it intelligible in English - the kami, the shrines, the purification rites and the myths of the Kojiki. Aston spent twenty-five years in the Japan consular service and read the sources in the original. This edition is bound with a gallery of 57 plates, among them paintings by Hiroshige, Hokusai and Bronzino, alongside 12 illustrations restored and coloured for this printing.
