The e-Book  • Minzoku Neo-Shinto is undergoing a major revision, adding both the kana, and the kanji with their associated meanings, for the Japanese terms. Content is also being expanded with more terms and fuller explanations of many of the existing terms. Once the content has been upgraded, a linked index will be added to allow you to quickly find and jump to the information you're looking for.

Our first new book in the e-Book Catalog —  • Minzoku Neo-Shinto. What is Minzoku Neo-Shinto? The technical answer is, "A universalist approach to an existential Japanese folk religion." But what does that mean? To break it down, universalist means it's open to anyone who's sincerely interested, it's not just for people of Japanese ancestory. Existential means it's based on personal experience, not on scripture or dogma. Folk religion means it's a religion as practiced by the commons – the everyday people – and on a local basis; it's not a religion as taught in the seminaries, universities, or on a national or international basis.
