Description: When one tries to get a proper understanding of someone's character it is best to see what that person actually did in particular situations and at specific times. How did that person act in relation to his family, his neighborhood, and his community? This is better than relying only on what that person wrote, however valuable those writings may be. This is also true of Kurozumi Munetada. -- from foreword

These stories com to us from a Shinto denomination know as Kurozumikyo. It is a religious group rooted in Japanese culture and history, and most readers' understanding of "Shinto" will be considerably broadened by reading them. We get a direct look into Japanese spirituality from knowing these stories. Their central figure is Kurozumi Munetada (1780-1850), priest in a Shinto shrine in Okayama, located on the northern coast of the Inland Sea halfway between Osaka and Hiroshima. -- from editor's introduction
