Detailed explanation-1: -The term kami is often translated as “god, ‘’ “lord, ‘’ or “deity, ‘’ but it also includes other forces of nature, both good and evil, which, because of their superiority or divinity, become objects of reverence and respect.
Detailed explanation-2: -Kami are spiritual beings believed to inhabit particular places and elements of nature, such as the sea, mountains, waterfalls or trees. They can also be the spirits of historic personages who have been granted this status.
Detailed explanation-3: -Shinto is based on belief in, and worship of, kami. The best English translation of kami is ‘spirits’, but this is an over-simplification of a complex concept-kami can be elements of the landscape or forces of nature. Kami are close to human beings and respond to human prayers.
