         		 An example of the modern Japanese tendency for syncretism is the river trail leading to the lake of Tazawako in Akita prefecture. This rather impressive tree is adorned with Shinto housing for the spirit that lives there, while also sporting Buddhist iconography and a nearby shrine and temple complex. The influence of ancient Shinto architecture is also present in the specially designed red bridge to mimic similar bridges built in Japan's ancient history. : by duncast, Views[1228]
         		 This is an unusually large collection of 'Jizō Bosatsu' or small stone depictions of lost children erected by grieving parents in the town. Found near the town of Amanohashidatte, in Kyoto prefecture. These are a daily reminder of the influence of the indigenous spirituality of Shinto on modern society, as similar tributes are to be found all around Japan, on roads, in gardens, at the base of trees, adorned with the spiritually significant red colour and often with toys or other offerings. : by duncast, Views[934]
         		 This small Shinto shrine, nestled within a forest grove of Japanese cedar near Tazawako in the Akita prefecture is a prime example of the spiritual link modern Japanese people have between their daily lives and surrounding nature. Unassuming shrines like this are to be found within every small community of people and are built to worship various spirits or 'kami' that live in natural features in, or nearby the shrine, often a large rock, or tree.: by duncast, Views[3603]
         		 Shinto is the indigenous spirituality of Japan and her people, dating back thousands of years BC, it's traditions are still respected alongside Zen Buddhism in a syncretic spiritual mix by 84-96% of the population. This is a modern Shinto priest mediating under the sacred running waters of the Kyoto Fushimi Inari shrine complex demonstrating the link the Japanese have between their ancient and present history. : by duncast, Views[1897]
     
    These are the ancient burial caves of the Zuiganji Temple in Matsushima. Founded in 828 AD, this Buddhist temple was originally founded in 828 as part of the Tendai sect, and was converted into a Zen temple during the Kamakura Period (1192-1333). Part of the temple was hewn directly into the surrounding cliffs where cremated remains of the deceased were enshrined as was, and still is a tradition of Zen Buddhism. : by duncast, Views[3003]
