Shinto beliefs and traditions
Definition
- “Born Shinto, Die Buddhist” aptly sums up the relationship between religion and life cycle in contemporary Japan. In a country where exclusive religious affiliation is the exception, not the rule, a generally accepted division of labor exists between Shinto shrines and Buddhist temples, with the former hosting such life-affirming events as the blessing of infants and small children and the latter handling funerals and other rituals concerning death.
