Topic: Kami


  
  BBC - Religion & Ethics - Kami: What are kami?
Kami are close to human beings and respond to human prayers.

The term kami is sometimes applied to spirits that live in things, but it is also applied directly to the things themselves - so the kami of a mountain or a waterfall may be the actual mountain or waterfall, rather than the spirit of the mountain or waterfall.
