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.
Since early Shinto did not have a founder or produce sacred texts, it was through communal rituals that the religion was transmitted. The goal of the rituals was to maintain or reinstate the harmony between nature, humans and the kami that the early Japanese appear to have taken as the norm.
