Japanese deities

Japanese deities, known as kami, are spiritual beings representing aspects of nature, ancestors, or sacred concepts. They inhabit natural sites like mountains, rivers, and trees, and are honored in shrines through rituals and offerings. Kami are not all-powerful gods but embody reverence for nature's power and beauty, reflecting Japan's deep connection with the environment and spirituality. These deities can be revered individually or collectively, and their worship emphasizes harmony, respect, and gratitude toward the natural world and ancestors.
