Arahitogami Guide, Meaning , Facts, Information and Description
Arahitogami is a Japanese word, meaning
a god who is a human being.
This word appears first in
Kojiki, but assumingly used before this book.
Most well-known usage of this word would be in Japan before
1945, until the end of the World War II. In those days Kokka-shinto, nationalistic
Shintoism applied this word to the Emperor
Hirohito and required to Japanese people to absolute obey and loyarity to the Emperor as a god. Later
Hirohito himself disclamed this conception and claimed his relation to the people didn't rely on such a mythological idea but a historically developed family-like reliance.
