Kami 神 is the Japanese word for the objects of worship or awe in the Shinto faith. In some instances, such as Izanagi and Izanami, kami are personified deities, similar to the gods of ancient Greece or Rome. In other cases, such as those concerning the phenomenon of growth and natural objects, the spirits dwelling in trees, or forces of nature.
Kami may, at its root, simply mean 'spirit', or an aspect of spirituality.

That's me all the way. I really like Japanese people called Shintos.
I was really joking in the above post.
Actually, I live with Kami and I know that she was NOT joking! :o)
