This Dictionary is a comprehensive glossary and reference work with more than a thousand entries on Shinto ranging from brief definitions of Japanese terms to short essays dealing with aspects of Shinto practice, belief and institutions from early times up to the present day. Shinto regards itself as the ancient indigenous tradition of Japan, yet has gone through remarkable transformations even in the last century, The Dictionary explains terms relating to such matters as festivals, shrines, rituals, kami, Shinto-related religious movement, significant events and key figures in the development of Shinto.

Distinctive features of the book are its clear and concise explanations of Shinto terms; comprehensive coverage of the dimensions of Shinto, and a Religious Studies approach to the subject which deals objectively and empathetically with Shinto ideas and practices. 

The book is written for a broad readership in Religious Studies, Japanese Studies and East Asian Asian Studies. It should appeal to an academic and general readership and to business and tourist visitors to Japan as a reliable, comprehensive, inexpensive and accessible work Shinto.
