De kami lehet egy erdő, egy szóból származik, a második a ,,to” hegy, vagy egy természeti jelenség pl.

Almost all are Japanese terms. The dictionary can be used in the ordinary way if the Shintō term you want to look up is already in Japanese (e.g. kami rather than ‘deity’) and has a main entry in the dictionary. If, as is very likely, the concept or word you want is in English such as ‘pollution’, ‘children’, ‘shrine’, etc., or perhaps a place-name like ‘Kyōto’ or ‘Akita’ which does not have a main entry, then consult the comprehensive Thematic Index of English and Japanese terms at the end of the Dictionary first. -

SACRED SPACE AND RITUAL IN EARLY MODERN JAPAN: THE CHRISTIAN COMMUNITY OF NAGASAKI (1569-1643) CARLA TRONU MONTANE Thesis submitted for the degree of PhD in History 2012 Department of History School of Oriental and African Studies University of London 2 Abstract This thesis argues that the production of sacred space and ritual is crucial to understanding the formation of Christian communities in early modern Japan. An analysis of the production of churches in Japan (chapter 1) lays the ground for a thorough exploration of the particular case of the Christian community of Nagasaki from 1569 to 1643 in the following chapters, I first address how Christians were involved in the foundation and design of the port and town, with a church as its symbolic centre (chapter 2), and the consequences for the Christian community when the administration rights over Nagasaki were donated to the Jesuits in 1580 (chapter 3). -
Encyclopedia of Shinto Chronological Supplement
Encyclopedia of Shinto Chronological Supplement 『神道事典』巻末年表、英語版 Institute for Japanese Culture and Classics Kokugakuin University 2016 Preface This book is a translation of the chronology that appended Shinto jiten, which was compiled and edited by the Institute for Japanese Culture and Classics, Kokugakuin University. That volume was first published in 1994, with a revised compact edition published in 1999. The main text of Shinto jiten is translated into English and publicly available in its entirety at the Kokugakuin University website as "The Encyclopedia of Shinto" (EOS). This English edition of the chronology is based on the one that appeared in the revised version of the Jiten. It is already available online, but it is also being published in book form in hopes of facilitating its use. The original Japanese-language chronology was produced by Inoue Nobutaka and Namiki Kazuko. The English translation was prepared by Carl Freire, with assistance from Kobori Keiko. Translation and publication of the chronology was carried out as part of the "Digital Museum Operation and Development for Educational Purposes" project of the Institute for Japanese Culture and Classics, Organization for the Advancement of Research and Development, Kokugakuin University. I hope it helps to advance the pursuit of Shinto research throughout the world. Inoue Nobutaka Project Director January 2016 ***** Translated from the Japanese original Shinto jiten, shukusatsuban.

Shinto & Ecology
Master of Arts (MA) in Foundations and Practices of Sustainability Shinto & Ecology Felix Ackermann Under the direction of Prof. Dominique Bourg With the expert Leila Chakroun October, 2018 Abstract When speaking of a global ecological crisis, diverse mutually interacting factors are being pointed at. Next to resource depletion and the progressive saturation of Earth’s charging capacities, potentially endangering the very habitability of the planet, social and economical aspects of the crisis equally need to be investigated upon. Technological supremacy coupled with pure proft orientation, as well as a predatory and indifferent stance towards the non-human Nature, characteristic of modern Western and Westernized societies, constitute a detrimental precondition in maintaining an unviable status quo of continuous environmental degradation and global social inequalities. Path dependency on an inherently unsustainable debt-based and growth-orientated capitalistic economics, falsely assuming an infnite Earth, makes it in that respect diffcult to escape the prevailing paradigm. The crisis is being framed as a spiritual crisis in the sense that spirituality of modern societies can be both described by their alienated relationship towards Nature and their limited idea of human accomplishment of materialistic and consumerist nature. Thorough refexion upon the spiritual foundations of modern societies is hence being advocated in order to fnd responses to the ills of the so-called technocratic paradigm. A globally disenchanted worldview, rendering Nature a mere commodity, which has been brought forth during the history of Western civilization is regarded as pivotal in generating the ‘modern Western spirituality’ which is oftentimes opposed to Eastern spiritual or animistic traditions. Endeavors of operating paradigm shifts by adopting tenets of such traditions, for instance Buddhism, appear pertinent on a surface level, yet raise questions in terms of applicabilities and misunderstandings. -
Shinto Shrines Or Shinto Temples?
ISSUES P e t e r M e t e v e l i s Canoga Park, California Shinto Shrines or Shinto Temples? Asian Folklore Studies’ Volume 53,1994: 337-345 IFFERENT words are used in the Japanese language to refer to places of Shinto worship. The type and status of the wor D ship facility determine the particular word used. In the Eng lish language, however, all such facilities, regardless of type or status, are conventionally referred to as shrines. By the same convention, Bud dhist places of worship are referred to using the nobler word temple’ though not always without problem.1 This petrifact convention was established in order to distinguish conveniently between places of Shinto worship and their Buddhist counterparts, as the Japanese them selves seem to do. But does it not also betray a lesser regard for Shinto? I have been unable to find out precisely where or when the words shrine and temple were first used as conventional translations respec tively for jin ja ネ申社,yashiro 社,hokora jji司,etc. on the one hand, and tera 寺,-]i 寺,- in 院,and dd 堂 on the other. I have encountered no article or book that advocated or suggested a particular usage. The Japanese-Portuguese dictionary Vocabulario da Lingoa de Iapam (Naga saki, 1603-1604) offers nothing of use. It avoids giving direct transla tions of religious facilities, defining them instead by means of other Japanese words, as when it defines jin ja as kami no yashiro. The third edition of Hepburn’s dictionary (1886) is only a bit more helpful. -

Kisaburo-, Kuniyoshi and the “Living Doll”
100 Kisaburo-, Kuniyoshi and the “Living Doll” Kinoshita Naoyuki or many years now, I have been researching different aspects of nineteenth-century Japanese culture, making a conscious decision Fnot to distinguish between “fine art” and “popular culture.” I clearly remember the occasion some twenty years ago that prompted me to adopt this approach. It was my first encounter with the termiki-ningyo - (“liv- ing dolls”), as coined in Japanese. I had absolutely no idea what the phrase meant, nor even how to pronounce the Chinese characters. The majority of modern Japanese, unfamiliar with the term, end up pronouncing it nama- ningyo-. The impulse to pronounce the first character asnama derives from its meaning of something “vivid” or “fresh” (namanamashii). In the culinary idiom, the adjective brings to mind not grilled or boiled fish, but raw fish (sashimi) at the instant the dish is set down, or even the moments before- hand, as one’s mouth begins to water watching the fish being prepared. Now I have a little better understanding of what “living dolls” means. In the city of Edo (now Tokyo), a popular form of street entertainment was the re-creation of themes from legends or history with life-size, lifelike < Fig. 2. Matsumoto Kisaburo-.

The meanings change as the relationships and the contexts change. A well-known Samoan expression is ‘Ia teu le va’—cherish, nurse, care for the va, the relationships.” -Albert Wendt, “Tatauing the Post-Colonial Body” Here in the occupied islands of Hawai‘i, whose sovereign space was illegally overthrown in 1893, and around the globe, people are advocating and active in movements to reclaim and change relational spaces. What we say about space today might be a litmus test for the unrest around us, as well as for our own efforts of nursing and care. Hannah Arendt insisted that the world is not a thing but a moving field of relations, a space we all continually make. What might it mean to occupy relational space? Can va be occupied? We occupy, but we also hold, and share. What would be the story of such a space? This is the first of a two-part series.

However, Waro Flat, popular apartment buildings even now, (address: Former Iikura- Katamachi 6-Chome), has not been swallowed up by the waves of redevelopment, and still looks as it used to in the good old days of the Showa Era. We visited this living space to understand its charm, and why it’s still loved by so many people. In Azabu-Dai 3-Chome, around the area at the foot of a slope south of Gaien Higashi Dori Avenue, there are many comparatively low-rise condominium and apartment buildings. Deep in the heart of this area, the Waro Flat build- ings stand out because of their elegant appearance: Gorgeous wooden apart- ment buildings for rent.

Minzoku Neo-Shintô Outline Shintô Shin
Minzoku Neo-Shintô Outline Shintô shin | jin (kami) tô | dô | michi (way) The indigenous spirituality of Japan and the Japanese people Kami-no-michi kami (that which inspires feelings of reverence, awe, gratitude, fear/terror) no (possesive particle | of) michi (way) Way of the Kami Minzoku min (people) zoku (customs, manners) "Minzoku" means 'folk customs' and refers to the practices and beliefs of the commons – the common people of a region considered as representatives of a traditional way of life and especially as the originators or carriers of the customs, beliefs, and arts that make up a distinctive culture. Folk customs are based on the Five "E"s: Existential, Experiential, Experimental, Empirical, and Event Oriented. The 5 Es Existential, Experiential, Experimental, Empirical, and Event Oriented Here are the relevant definitions of the Five Es, as they apply to a Folk Religion. While none of these are unique to folk religion, if a religion's praxis is based on all of these and control of that praxis is local, that religion may be considered to be "folk". Existential Relating to or dealing with existence. Based on experience; empirical. Existence The fact or state of existing; being. All that exists. A thing that exists; an entity. Specific presence; occurrence. Existentialist Based on the idea that you are what you say you are, because you engage in some of all the practices that make it up. The folk, the commons, are usually existentialists, as opposed to essentialists. Essentialist Based on the idea that because of what you say you are, you must engage in all the practices that make it up.
