Shinto means the way of the gods (to means the way.) Its beginning in Japanese culture is lost in the mist of time, certainly going back into prehistory.
The main ShintÅ rites and festivals are for celebrating the New Year, child birth, coming of age, planting and havest, weddings, and groundbreaking ceremonies for new buildings. Death, funerals, and graveyards involve Buddhist rituals, not ShintÅ.
