Their doings are mo­delled on those of living men and women, not on those of ghosts. When Izanagi followed his wife Izanami to the land of the dead he found there not a spirit, but a putrefying corpse. Ghosts are as absent from the Kojiki and Nihongi as they are from the Old Testament Scriptures. Herbert Spencer‟s ghost-theor y of the ori­gin of religion derives no support from the Japanese evidence. There is, however, a spiritual element in Shinto which demands notice. Some of the gods are represented as having mitama (au­gust jewels or souls) which reside invisibly in their temples and are the means of communication between Heaven and this world. The Earth or Kosmos deity Ohonamochi had a mitama (double) which appeared to him in a divine radiance illuminating the sea, and obtained from him a promise that, in consideration of the as­sistance the latter had rendered in reducing the world to order, he should have a shrine consecrated to him at Mimoro. Susa no wo‟s mitama was „settled‟ at Susa in Idzumo. The element tama (soul) enters into the names of several deities. This implies a more or less spiritual conception of their nature. Sometimes we hear of two mitama, one of a gentle, the other of a violent nature.”(Tanıtım Bülteninden)\u003c\/p\u003e William George Aston tarafından yazılan daha çok içeriğe ulaşmak için \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/dunyadakitap.com\/search?q=William%20George%20Aston%20\"\u003etıklayınız.\u003c\/a\u003e","brand":"Platanus Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47448128651544,"sku":"book_dyk_9786257078696","price":11.06,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0760\/4132\/2776\/files\/0001882569001-1.jpg?v=1704349812","url":"https:\/\/dunyadakitap.com\/products\/shinto-the-ancient-religion-of-japan-platanus-publishing","provider":"Dünyada Kitap","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
