Shinto has been in Japan as long as the culture whereas Buddhism was imported in from the mainland in the 6th century. They have both been co-existing harmoniously since then. Religion does not play a large role in most peoples everyday life. People pay their respects at important ceremonies and visit temples occasionally at which they follow specific religious rituals. ]]> 2018-06-30 00:13:07 UTC https://padlet.com/caeli_crockford/c1vltkb8yh3f/wish/269005880 caeli_crockford https://padlet.com/caeli_crockford/c1vltkb8yh3f/wish/269005887 Japan has the longest average life span in the world for up to 20 years.
