SHINTO: The Substratum of <\/span>Japanese Nationalism<\/span><\/span> Assistant Professor, Centre for Japanese Studies, SLL&CS, Jawaharlal Nehru University, New <\/span>Delhi. E-mail: dnmnkmr@gmail.com<\/span><\/p>\n Abstract<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n Shinto has functioned as the \u00e9lan vital for all the forms and facets of Japanese <\/span>nationalism. The pervasive presence of Shinto as the substratum of identity is evident <\/span>from the historical analysis of Japanese nationalism. Shinto is a rudimentary belief system <\/span>that connects Japanese people\u2019s history to their primordial myth. The origin of Japan and <\/span>its divinity, imperial institution, and infallibility are deeply entrenched in Japanese minds. <\/span>The imperial house has been the venerated institution, and the emperor serves as the chief <\/span>priest of Shinto. These are the products of the Japanese myth and Shinto belief system, <\/span>which translate into the structuring of Japanese identity. The nucleus of the idea of <\/span>nationalism is identity formation and its articulation through innumerable media at <\/span>different junctures. Shinto provides Japanese people with the foundation for this collective <\/span>identity by indirectly influencing the Japanese heart and mind. The preservation of the <\/span>spirit of Japan and the essence of Yamato has also been emphasised and expressed through<\/span> Keywords<\/strong> Shinto . Nationalism . Myth . Substratum .
