Bringing the rich Japanese Shinto artistic tradition to life, this handsome volume explores the significance of calligraphy, painting, sculpture, and the decorative arts within traditional kami veneration ceremonies

A central feature of Japanese culture for many centuries, the veneration of kami deitiesâ"a practice often referred to as Shintoâ"has been a driving force behind a broad swath of visual art. Focusing on the Heian period (795â"1185) through the Edo period (1615â"1868), this generously illustrated volume brings the rich Shinto artistic tradition to life through works of calligraphy, painting, sculpture, and the decorative arts. Thematic essays authored by both American and Japanese scholars explore different dimensions of kami veneration and examine the significance of these objectsâ"many of which have never been seen outside of Japanâ"in Shinto ceremonies.
