Review: The Essence of Shinto

I have written before of Yamakage's authorship of multiple antisemitic conspiracy theory books. That said, given that there are not a lot of English language books about Shintō, I find this book is often recommended. It should not be recommended to anyone, not just because of the authorship, but for its misinformation. There is very little actual information that can be salvaged from this trainwreck of a book.

Koshintō is not an ancient practice - it's a new religious movement; an attempt to imagine an ancient Shintō, which is, in my opinion, inherently paradoxical, as the concept of Shintō as the name of a religion (and indeed the concept of a religion itself) were consciously constructed as recently as the Meiji Era, which is the 19th century. The archaeological and historical truth is that we do not know what Yayoi or Jomon period peoples believed, and Shintō is likely very distinct from that, and that is okay. While I understand the impulse to try to reconstruct Yayoi or Jomon era religions, I find the impulse to remove foreign elements like Buddhism to contain elements of xenophobia, and have found the idea of Shintō as truly ancient to be misleading at best. We do not actually have an ancient practice handed down to us. Japanese religious practice, first, is diverse -- regions do things differently. Kyushu area graves, for example, bear continental Chinese influence and have 土神 enshrined at their sides. Secondly, while I do think there is a necessity to undo the damage that State Shintō has done, it is not helpful to do so in a way that, at best, ignores and at worst, contradicts history.

Secondly, Yamakage Shintō is barely attested outside of Motohisa's writings. Many of the practices allegedly specific to Yamakage Shintō are common Japanese New Age theories, along with some condescension of traditional practices. One way to recognize this is his repeated use of the word "spiritual" (which presumably was either written スピリチュアル in the original text). It's ironic, then, that he puts down "bizarre cults and sects" (p.13). The aforementioned paragraph should explain why I am so skeptical of the Yamakage school when there is no such thing as ancient Shintō by definition.

Crucially, there is some dangerous and typical New Age medical misinformation here. He claims that certain chants or practices can heal different physical and mental health symptoms, which is not something anyone should say, much less someone who claims to be a religious teacher. This is a sidenote, but I am hoping that Paul de Leeuw did not absorb any of this, but am concerned as he trained under Yamakage.

Yamakage states "...Shinto leaders have been at the forefront of campaigns to restore the forests..." As much as Westerners want Shintō to be the Green Religion that saves the world, I've had very little luck actually encountering any shrine websites or articles that back this up, outside of the traditional practices of keeping very small sacred forests known as chinju no mori. If anything, the opposite has been documented. See Sacred Forests, Sacred Nation for more on this subject. I would be open to correction on this, but Yamakage provides no sources whatsoever; in fact, he provides no sources throughout his book for any of his factual or historical claims. Presenting the Showa Emperor as a source does nothing but reinforce fascist rhetoric about the emperor being the religious head, as he was at the time of State Shinto, and likely says more about his personal convictions than his religious ones. There is something eerily dystopian and fascistic in Yamakage's description of the people cheerily following the Showa Emperor's example.

I have noticed a tendency in some Japanese people to do what I think of as self-orientalism; an exoticization of your own body and culture to appeal to whites. It seems to me that Yamakage is doing such a thing, while simultaneously appealing to Japanese nationalistic sympathies, by saying it is an ancient, mysterious religion untainted by materialism. Demonizing materialism, in fact, goes against the actual practice of most Japanese -- many, many businesses regularly pray for prosperity and dedicate lamps to shrines, or will get ritual decorations for prosperity known as kumade during the November Tori-no-Ichi festival.

"Ajimarikan" is a chant that is, at best, shoddily derived from Buddhism, as is his use of mudra hand gestures. At worst, he completely fabricated this chant and doesn't even attempt to provide a meaning for this phrase. The Five Great Vowels Chant and the Heavenly Counting Chant are both chants that do not exist outside of this book.

Yamakage Motohisa also repeatedly uses Okinawan/Ryūkyūan religion as examples as if it is a part of Shintō, which it most decidedly is not. There was forced assimilation because of colonization, to my understanding, but the practice is entirely different from Shintō.

This is kind of a briefer overview than I originally intended, but I hope this provides some information on why I dislike Yamakage and this book so much. My hope is that he stops being recommended as any sort of resource and a better one is translated soon.

[pandasaurio-espacial]

This happened because if u ship kageyama with someone ur gonna use "kage" and with yamaguchi ur gonna use "yama" but that's just.... kageyama....

I was trying to figure out what the ship name for kageyama/yamaguchi would be and my autistic ass what hit by the urge to write a paper on haikyu ship naming conventions

[comfortabletogether]

.... present ocs....

i unfortunately cannot show any art of them because I have had the worst art and writers block ever. but anyways I’ve been working on the beginnings of a fanganronpa.

basically everyone in it was someone who was considered to be a student at Hopes Peak Academy but in the end was rejected either for someone better or for some other reason. And all these students are variating in ages from 15-20.

TW: ALCOHOL ABUSE

the characters i have so far is;

Jakochū Yamakage - Failed Ultimate Pastry Chef

She is nineteen years old. Jakochū is from Japan originally but she has traveled all over to be on a variety of different baking shows to show off her talent. On screen she is graceful and the perfect daughter you would want to have. But in person she is rude and very quick to anger.

Jakochū was rejected from Hopes Peak just for her not making the cut.

She loves ribbons and her favorite color is both red and pink. And she hates people telling her what to do.

Anya Seredov-Bikmetov - Failed Ultimate Ballerina

Anya is sixteen and she is from Russia. From a young age she has practically lived in dance studios and when she wasn’t dancing she was learning languages and she can speak six languages. She is a very rude person as well and is seemingly very apathetic to everyone around her. But she cannot take compliments whatsoever, often she’ll cry at night over them.

She had asked to not be in Hopes Peak Academy. And it was purely because of her utter burnout and she thought it would make everything worse if she went there.

Anya loves fashion and is very girly. And she is amazed with rocks, especially gemstones and minerals. Basically she just loves pretty things.

Conroy Meade - Failed Ultimate Equestrian

Conroy is a fifteen year old American. He is from the Northeast. Despite both parents being white and fully American he has a duel citizenship for America and Japan. His father owned a ranch and this lead him to be taking care of and riding horses since he was a toddler. And he had started working for historical reenactment places because of his talent.

He got rejected from Hopes Peak because he was blamed for an arson that nobody knows exactly what had happened, but they figured that he must be the culprit from other victims accounts.

He loves military history and sweaters. He will also ramble for hours if you willingly talk to him.

Jules Flanders - Failed Ultimate Freestyle Skier

Jules is a twenty year old and he is from Belgium. He is a very chill and carefree guy but has ruined his own life through having a severe alcohol addiction that has caused him to be put in rehab multiple times in a span of three years. Despite his failures, he still tries to complete and tries to beat his addiction.

He got into Hopes Peak but because that year word came out about his alcohol abuse. And he got kicked out and replaced with a new student.

Jules loves to ski, his talent in practically the only thing that keeps him from really really doing something he will regret.
