Book Synopsis
Presents an English translation of the prayers of Japan's indigenous religious tradition, Shinto. This title recalls Mircea Eliade's observation that 'most of the time [our] encounters and comparisons with non-Western cultures have not made all the 'strangeness' of these cultures evident.

Trade Review
"A welcome republication ...of a group of important norito brought out by the Institute for Japanese Culture and Classics ... The new Preface supplied by Kitagawa is ...a subtantial essay worthy of attention in its own right. It scetches the cultural, historical, and religious contexts in which the earliest written collection of norito emerged"--Monumenta Nipponica
