Here are some more information for Japanese Shinto:
An Ascended Master is a Being, who has had many lives in the 3rd dimension. During these lives they have ascended in their vibration and consciousness, attained mastery over themselves and the elements through time and space, till they reached a state of being of which they no longer had to return to a life in body. Their ascension, beyond the 5th initiation, releases them from the cycles of rebirth and karma. We like to think of ascension as a final resting, not so, still they strive to come less of who they are and more a Being of purity and Light.
Over the centuries many of these Ascended Masters have been awarded the title of gods and goddesses, and their origins have been lost in myth. The Egyptian gods and goddesses are a good example of this, less known are the Japanese Ascended Masters. They are known more for their place as Shinto deities. The Japanese royal family is believed to have descended from these gods, namely Amaterasu, goddess of the sun.
Amaterasu, goddess of the sun has two brothers, Tsukuyomi, god of the moon and Susan'oo, god of the summer storm.
As an Ascended Master Amaterasu, has a beautiful clarity in her energy. Her aura is yellow with pink sparkles. In these days of ascension, she is working with humanity to raise vibrations by radiating her crystal clear vibrations. She is a second ray master, helping to bring wisdom and humility, the 2nd aspect of the Christ Conscious, to this earth plane. Her vibration is very high, and so for her come closer to this plane of existence, she is assisted by the Ascended Master Serapis Bey, Chohan of the 4th ray. He helps anchor her energy and draw her closer to humanity.
Her brother Susan'oo is a fifth ray Ascended Master. He works in the areas of knowledge, healing and truth. His assistance is on a more practical level working closely with those who themselves seek to help humanity such as teachers, healers, inventors, innovators. He works with all those who are seriously confronting their own self truth and their own inner storm. If you are wondering what Susan'oo looks like - he has almond shape eyes, and winged eyebrows, a feature in themselves. He looks like he is from another planet - his eyes don't quite fit into our parameters. But then many of the ancient god of mythology were believed to be from elsewhere. His aura is a translucent green leading out to a white opaque sparkling border.
Tsukuyomi, doesn't have as high a profile as his siblings. To look at he has a barrel chest and straight eye brows, his hair black and face plump and full. He appears the most kindly of the 3 in appearance. His aura is white with gold edges. It is not clear how he works with humanity, though his second ray nature, suggests he is a being of joy that delights in the lightness of Being.

Japanese Jewelry – Interesting Pieces of Oriental Culture
People all over the world are interested in mysterious things. The more mysterious an object is, the more power and significance it holds and the more people are drawn to it. The reasons for this cannot be established with certainty, but it is true.
It may be because we are surrounded by lots of things to which we cannot find an explanation for. Religion is one way of attributing a meaning to these occurrences, and that meaning is spiritual. Cultures all over the world have been built around something that can give meaning to such occurrences and have developed ways for protection from what can harm us.
The unseen and mystical powers of small objects have been known to fulfill their purpose for the ones that really believe in them. Some of the most mysterious cultures that have ever emerged can be found in the Orient, one particular place in Japan. Small items like Japanese jewelry pieces have been worn by the inhabitants of this country for many generations.
Japanese jewelry pieces have found there inspiration throughout the ages. The country of Japan has a tumultuous past, filled with wars and bloodshed, but also with times of peace, prosperity and art development. These times have been the most rewarding for the generations that followed.
There are many meaningful pieces of Japanese jewelry that introduce us to a spiritual world and great beliefs that cannot be found anywhere else. For example, the Shinto ring is shaped as the entrances into the shrines that bear the same name, a passage into a world of holy spirits that enlightens the wearers about their place in the world and the power they hold.
Another interesting piece of Japanese jewelry is the Buddhi ring. Shaped like the leaves of the ‘Ficus religiosa’, this ring has an engraving that cites the book of Ecclesiastes written by King Solomon. This brings out the compassion and modesty out of the wearer in order to become a better person.
The samurai, warriors of ancient time that swore their legence to the emperor and gave their lives to protect him, the ones that fought by sword even when others used gun-fire, serve as inspiration for one of the most popular pieces of jewelry worn in Japan and throughout the world – the tsuba.
The tsuba is the part of the samurai sword that separates the two main components – the grip and the blade – and serves as protection for the wielder’s hands. At least that's what it was before it began serving as inspiration for breathtaking Japanese jewelry pieces.
There are lots of artists that have taken the tsuba and created lots of unique designs for jewelry. Including elements from nature, like ants, or paying homage to one of the greatest haiku poets that ever lived, the tsuba can be worn as a pendant with great meaning and hidden powers that can boost one's self confidence.
Quality jewelry is very hard to find, especially handcrafted pieces that encompass all the devotion and belief of their maker. If you are interested in any piece of Japanese jewelry like the ones presented afore, be sure to visit ka-gold-jewelry.com.

what is the japanese shinto religion baised on?
ive always been interested in the shinto religion, what is it all about?
The name Shinto means "The Way of the Kami (spirits)". It's a animistic religion and there's a heavy emphasis on honoring one's ancestors. I've always admired it. They do not view the universe as split between the natural physical world and the supernatural transcendent world, instead they regard everything as part of a single unified creation. Shinto sees human beings as basically good and has no concept of original sin, or of humanity as 'fallen'.
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 include gods and spirit beings, but also include many other things that are revered for the powers that they possess. Oceans and mountains are Kami, so are storms and earthquakes.
