THE world is ready for a new Civilization. Since the dawn of history, since the day when the wise King told his people to live by Law, it has learned and suffered much. It has lived for pleasure, the lust of the eye and the lust of the flesh, and has grown satiated. In a fever of disgust it has mortified the body that the soul might be redeemed, and has become sick of renunciation. Then it has turned to pleasure again, pleasure less innocent and more alluring because of the haunting fear of an offended God. And now the world is a-weary. The old ideals, the old faiths, the old incentives to hope and noble effort are fast vanishing. Christianity is no longer a religion, but a sweet memory which the people cannot bring themselves to abandon. The ethics of Christianity have already disappeared before the persistent questioning which is the surest sign of the end of an era. There is a babel of voices, an inferno of activities, but there are few now-a-days who hope. Quo Vadis? is the cry again, but this time there is none to answer. Despair is the dominant note in music and art and literature - despair and wistful longing for days gone by. Pessimism has become a creed, which gains new followers every day, Schopenhauer and Hartmann are its prophets. Fitz-Gerald and James Thomson are its psalmists, and its apostles are in every land.

Of Japan’s two great religious traditions, Shinto is far less known and understood in the West. Although there are a number of books that explain the religion and its philosophy, this work is the first in English to focus on sites where Shinto has been practiced since the dawn of Japanese history. In an extensive introductory section, authors Joseph Cali and John Dougill delve into the fascinating aspects of Shinto, clarifying its relationship with Buddhism as well as its customs, symbolism, and pilgrimage routes. This is followed by a fully illustrated guide to 57 major Shinto shrines throughout Japan, many of which have been designated World Heritage Sites or National Treasures. In each comprehensive entry, the authors highlight important spiritual and physical features of the individual shrines (architecture, design, and art), associated festivals, and enshrined gods. They note the prayers offered and, for travelers, the best times to visit. With over 125 color photographs and 50 detailed illustrations of archetypical Shinto objects and shrines, this volume will enthrall not only those interested in religion but also armchair travelers and visitors to Japan alike. Whether you are planning to visit the actual sites or take a virtual journey, this guide is the perfect companion.
