mochi and shimenawa in order to
welcome the Toshigami deities...
It's one of the oldest traditions in Japan.
By the way, cherry blossom viewing
and even Children's Day are meant
to commemorate deities and spirits.
Japan's got a lot of gods, so naturally
there ended up being a lot of events
and rituals to accommodate them all.

There's a phrase referring to all the
Shinto gods as a collective... Anyone
know it offhand?
All right, Takamaki-san! I'll bet you
slept through Shogatsu...

We call them yaoyorozu no kami, or "the
eight million gods." Though that number's
not meant to be taken literally.
"Yaoyorozu" is essentially shorthand for
myriad gods. An uncountable number.

In olden days, the Japanese believed that
gods dwelled in everything.
What with all these traditions, you could
say these beliefs still affect our lives
today...
It's a wonderful thing, really. We really
need to cherish our history.
