Shinto is the indigenous religion of Japan.
It combines an empathetic oneness with
natural forces and loyalty to the reigning
dynasty as descendants of the Sun goddess,
Amaterasu-Omikami. Traditional Shinto
followers stressed obedience and devotion to
the emperor, and an aggressive nationalistic
aspect was developed by the Meiji rulers.
