>>18490087If the only thing you like is Buddhism
>>18489934Shinto ritual and high art is almost entirely Buddhist. It was the arrival of Buddhism that organized the decentralized folk beliefs of the natives into the modern organized religion we know as Shinto. Written documents from back then used the word "Shinto" to refer to Taoism or even to religion in general.
