This article is a translation of the first part of the  Shihō shinsho no maki  私法神書巻 (“Volume on Shintō as Private Law”) from Andō Shōeki’s  Shizen shin’eidō  (“The True Way of the Functioning of Nature”). The fragments selected here contain a critique of three texts that Shōeki sees as fundamental in the shaping of Shintō as an ideology:  Kujiki, Kojiki , and  Nihongi . Shōeki criticizes Shintō alongside Buddhism, Confucianism and Daoism as a preamble to proposing his own vision of the universe, a “World of Nature” unmarred by social hierarchies. His tenet is that any kind of ideology is part of the “Law” as a self-serving contraption created to alienate human society from the true way of Nature.
