Shinto literally means the way to worship gods and is generally considered as the indigenous Japanese religion that was developed before Buddhism was introduced into ancient Japan in the sixth century. The term was coined by the combination of two words from Chinese – shin , originally from the Chinese character for “divine beings” or gods ( shen ) and to , originally from “way” ( tao ). The rivalry with Buddhism was influential in the development of the Shinto tradition from the outset
