    The Shinto Religion: Film Analysis

    Finally, the Shinto religion is quite concerned with the idea of balance. This usually results in a concern for the balance between humans and the natural world. In Miyazaki's films, there is also a lot of emphasis placed on balance. In fact, his protagonists often undertake a voyage of balance, either between humans and nature such as in Princess Mononoke, or within themselves like in Howl's Moving Castle and Spirited Away. Princess Mononoke makes peace with the humans rather than yielding to them, as that would mean the humans gained dominance over nature. In Spirited Away, we see that she balances her own behavior. As she was very childish prior to entering the spirit realm, we see her mature as Sen and she no longer hangs on her…

    Sinto and Daoim

    Shinto, unlike Daoism and Buddhism was not first a philosophy, but a mythology, present in some clans in Japan. In roughly 500 BCE the Yamato clan adopted this mythology, calling it the Shinto religion, meaning “The Way of the Gods”, in hopes that this would spread throughout and help unify Japan. The Yamato clan soon became the Yamato dynasty, and Shinto was the official religion. Since there is no founding individual or group, Shinto is sometimes referred to as a natural religion[1], the exact origins of the mythology are unknown. Daoism began as a philosophy; the first literary work, Dao De Jing meaning Book of the Way and Its Power, roughly emerged around 551 BCE[2]. Lao Zi, which translates to Old Master, is assumed to have written this. It wasn’t until 142 CE, after the Way of the Celestial Masters was founded that Daoism became a religion. The differences here are that Shinto was never a philosophy, but a mythology. It did not have a religious text. Daoism was the opposite, first being a philosophy and having a religious text.…

    Confucianism And Daoism Similarities

    Shinto is a religion that originated in Japan. Like Daoism, Shinto believes that the Ultimate Reality isn’t some God or a supreme in a different reality, but rather that everything exists in one unified place. Everything on earth is a part of the Ultimate Reality and people who believe in Shinto take good care of the earth and respect it. The kami, which is the many forms that a deity can take, is very important to Shinto belief. The only religion that is left to talk about is Hinduism, which unlike the rest of the religions mentioned so far, worships a God as an Ultimate Reality.…
