- Abstract
The book "Exploring Shinto" edited by Michael Pye provides a comprehensive overview of the history and development of Shinto in Japan. The book is divided into three sections that cover contemporary Shinto, the interaction between Shinto and Buddhism, and the diversity of Sect Shinto. The authors explore various aspects of Shinto, including its definition, the role of shrines and associations, and its connection to the imperial family. While the book offers valuable insights into Shinto, some readers may find it lacking in discussions of contemporary practices and the role of women in Shinto. Additionally, the focus on the interaction between Shinto and Buddhism may overshadow other aspects of Shinto.
