Taoism in Japan
Taoism is believed to be the inspiration for spiritual concepts in Japanese culture. Taoism is similar to Shinto in that it also started as an indigenous religion in China, although it is more hermetic than shamanistic. Taoism's influence can be seen throughout the culture but to a lesser extent than ''jukyō''.
Taoism in the form it takes in Japan can be easily seen as superstitious or astrological and the concept of demons and spirits seem to have their roots in a Taoist influence such as Onmyōdō and Shugendō. The widely practiced ritual of ''setsubun'' (節分) where chanters repeat "Demons out! Luck in!" has its base in Taoism and also touches on a relation to ''uchi-soto''. There is a culture of consultation where ''ogamiyasan'' are called upon to provide their Taoism based insight to bear upon events such as house-buildings. Taoism has a calendar whereby one can determine the best day, element and time should be chosen to color an event in the right light (Tengenjutsu (fortune telling)).〔
==Etymology==
The Japanese ''kanji'' for Taoism is 道教 (Dô-kyô). The root of this ''kanji'' is 道 (''michi'', way, path) + 教 (''kyō'', doctrine, teaching, education). ''Dô'' shares the same Chinese character as ''tao'', 道 which literally means "way".
