JanOP1-124:1 Approach to a temple in Japan. Note relics of Russo-Japanese War. JanOP1-124:2 Approach to Shinto Shrine. Stone lantern on the side. JanOP1-124:3 A shrine in a cave. Shintoism is a compound of nature worship and ancestor worship. With moral teaching Shitoism does not concern itself, "Follow your natural impulses and obey Mikado's decrees." Such is the sum of its theory of human duty. Preaching forms no part of its institutions, nor are the rewards and punishments of a future-life used as incentives to right conduct. The continued existence of the dead is believed in; but whether it is a condition of joy or pain, is nowhere declared. from time to time new names are added to the pantheon gods.
