I always wondered this: do people in Japan, even a small minority, still believe in Shinto deities or do they just keep the traditions to honor their ancestors and culture?

japs are nihilistic suicidal retards
they don't believe in anything

Shinto is not so strict religion
so everyone mildly believe in this

97% of japanese are like this

How do you tell apart between Shinto and Buddhist temples

its just general animism though even I am mildly convinced of this
fuck off

So I assume you read books like Kojiki in an allegorical way? Like you don't really believe in Amaterasu but believe the Sun has an important role in your life.

buddhist temple have buddha statues
shinto temple usually have animals and things

What does it mean to mildly believe in it?

historically they were intentionally mixed
so no

Is Hachiman no kami buddhism or shintoism diety?

everything has some sort of soul and gods and you pray to those gods for good luck its simple

When I went to Tokyo I thought I saw Yasukuni shrine but didn't know if it was actually it

I can someone grasp the concept but it seems lines are blurred. It's nothing like the west.

shinto

my impression when visiting was that they take it pretty seriously desu, far more than we take religion seriously in the West. They still wear traditional clothing n shiet for weddings

Yokai are shinto or buddhism?

a lot also believe in reincarnation so everything seems blurry might make a bit of sense for christian cultures
I thought most japanese have western style wedding but buddhist style funeral

Have you ever seen a yokai?

>a lot also believe in reincarnation
I know, read it in a Mishima book

no no yasukuni is relatively new way of shinto made by failed government (and ignored now)

it would be in the realm of shinto, as the concept central to it like mitama (spirit) is very shinto

I thought there is no clear cut distinction between shintoism and buddhism other than certain schools, is this true

yasukuni has torii gate.

Than you, I am reading Kitaro manga, very cool, I heard it's famous in Japan
