About this Item

Minor edge and corner wear; no dj; corners are gently bumped and rubbed; lightly scuffed and scratched; some light shelf wear; ex-library with the usual library markings; overall a nice used copy! Very very rare and hard-to-find title! Yellow cloth with red lettering on the spine. 252 historical and spiritual pages! Extremely scarce! "Shinto is simple in its outward forms but has profound inward significances. The Japanese have never tried to make Shinto self-expressive in objective analytical ways but have been content to let the inner spirit of Shinto guide them as an integral part of themselves. If a being from another planet, having a different digestive system from own own, were to visit this earth and were to ask anyone how food taken into the mouth becomes converted into energy that keeps the body alive, nobody could answer him." ---- from the Preface. Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
