Answer:

Japan's original religion was Shinto (which means "way of gods.") It was an animist, polytheistic religion that focused on spirits and gods ("kami.")

Step-by-step explanation:

Shinto ("the way of the gods") is the indigenous faith of the Japanese people and as old as Japan itself. It remains Japan's major religion alongside Buddhism
