Shintoism, the indigenous religious practice of Japan. Even with an over 2000 year history Shinto has never been easy to define, the word Shinto wasn’t even used much until the seventeenth century. Shinto has its own shrines, priests, gods and rituals. Everything you'd expect from a religion but today while over 80% of Japanese people participate in Shinto practices only 3-4% identify themselves as believers in Shinto and many Japanese people practice Shinto alongside Buddhism without any sense of contradiction.
