Where you have sincerity,
There also is virtue.
Sincerity is a witness to truth
Sincerity is the mother of knowledge.
Sincerity is a single virtue that binds Divinity and man in one.
— Shinto saying

To outsiders, Japan and its Kami have always seemed to be homogenous, united, and indivisible. What most foreigners do not know about is the long and fractured history of the islands of Japan. They do not know about the Ainu people or the Ages of War, the divisions between earthly and heavenly Kami, or the invasion of Buddhist bodhisattvas who accepted roles as Kami. Togaijin, Japan has always been the unified Empire of the Rising Sun.

The Kami descended from the Heavenly Plane to rule over Japan some 2,500 years ago. Around 600 BCE, and since then Amaterasu, the sun goddess, has ruled over. Everything and everyone has their place in the order of heaven. There were some strife when foreign Gods arrive, but they always have been integrated into the culture, religion, and the pantheon.

Against outsiders, the Kami will come together like no other force. Even the Titans come to the Kami’s aid when all of Japan is threatened, for that is their way: something that isn’t quite Shintō, Buddhist, Bushido, or even Christian, but all of those, and more.
