Wow, thats really interesting. I'd heard about the mixture of Shinto and Buddism in Japan before but not anything about how things actually went on.
There are quite different beliefs about the afterlife too I think (which are relevant to HnG at this point): Does the spirit of the deceased remain among the living or go somewhere else? Or each in turn?
