概要

 In this episode of Shinto Explained, Akira and Claire record on-location at Tokyo’s Meiji Jingu to dismantle the common misconceptions surrounding Kegare. Recorded on April 21, 2026, amidst the "April Slump" of the Japanese fiscal year, the hosts dive into the etymology of Ki-gare—the withering of one’s life force. Why does Shinto treat exhaustion and grief not as moral failings, but as a "fog" that requires a spiritual reboot? We examine the myth of Izanagi’s purification after his descent into the underworld and discuss how the birth of the sun goddess, Amaterasu, frames cleansing as a creative act. The conversation takes a critical turn as Claire challenges the historical use of these concepts to marginalize women and specific professions, referencing the scholarship of Emiko Namihira. From 2011 tsunami rituals to modern digital decluttering, learn how ancient Japanese spirituality offers a vital tool for resilience and psychological clarity. Can a simple ritual reset really polish the mirror of your heart and reconnect you with the Kami? #shinto #kegare #japanesespirituality #meijijingu #mentalhealth
