The arts-oriented, universalist Oomoto Shinto sect will be running a programme starting in late October aimed at foreigners interested in learning more about them. It is held at Kameoka and Ayabe, near Kyoto. and programme details are below. I’m told that a donation of something like $35 or more a day would be appropriate. If you would like to apply, or get further information, contact KATSUYA KIMURA <k-kimura[at]oomoto.or.jp>
