Does Japan use music to worship?
First a bit of background on Japan and religion. There are several overlapping religious traditions that Japanese people observe. However, modern Japanese society is becoming increasingly secularized, and for some religion has taken on more of a cultural role than a spiritual role. Shinto is the native religion of the Japanese archipelago; it is a system of rituals centered around interaction with kami, spirits that followers of Shinto believe dwell in everything. Shinto uses music at shrines, in festivals, and during important life events such as weddings. Japanese people also practice Buddhism, which uses chanting to optimize one's mind for meditation. Hope that helped!
Where did Shinto start?
Shinto (神道, shintō?) is the native religion of Japan and was once its state religion. It involves the worship of kami (神, kami?), spirits. Some kami are local and can be regarded as the spiritual being/spirit or genius of a particular place, but other ones represent major natural objects and processes: for example, Amaterasu, the Sun goddess, or Mount Fuji. Shinto is an animistic belief system.Most scholars agree that there was at least one migration from East Asia and perhaps another from Central Asia to the ancient Japanese Archipelago, though there is no consensus as to where Shinto first developed. Early Shinto can be traced back into the mists of the Jōmon period; the Ainu-jin practice of Ko-shinto is said to directly descend from the original Shinto. Some of the basical elements of modern Shinto have been traced also to the Yayoi period (c.300 BC-c.250 AD) as a cultural product of immigrants from China through the Korean Peninsula, who brought agricultural rites and shamanic ceremonies from the continent, which took on Japanese forms in the new environment. In the early centuries BC, diverse kami with no formal hierarchy or dependency between them were worshipped. Early ceremonies are thought to have included rocks forming a sacred space or altar (himorogi). There was no representation of the kami, for they were conceived as formless and pure. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shintoism
