Shintoism, the indigenous spirituality of Japan, has roots that can be traced back over 1,500 years, though its practices and beliefs likely existed in various forms for much longer. The term "Shinto" was officially adopted in the 6th century to distinguish it from Buddhism, which had begun to influence Japan at that time. Shinto's rituals and traditions have evolved over centuries, making it a deeply ingrained aspect of Japanese culture and identity.
