1) Temples are built to honor spirits believed to be found in nature. Shinto is the Japanese word for spirits or deities, and kami means "spirits". 2) Amaterasu is the sky god and Izanami is the earth mother according to Japanese mythology. Jimmu is considered the first emperor of Japan who descended from the gods. 3) Shintoism is able to coexist with other religions like Confucianism and Buddhism in Japan because it is considered not only a religion but a way of life for the Japanese people.
