Shintoism not only focuses on all things but strongly believed in spirits and deities, largely due to the power these held. Shintoism considers aggravating good spirits a bad idea based on the fact you may entertain certain problems; those that are classed as malicious may cause disease, illness or such like. The two main deities centred on Shintoism are Izaanami and Izaanami who are believed to have given birth to the world; they also gave birth to the sun known as a deity called Amaterasu (The Sun Goddess). In order to please the deities and spirits it has been a long tradition to offer gifts to gratify them and perform rituals to revoke malicious spirits.
