Not only spirits superior to man can be considered kami, but also spirits that are considered pitiable or weak have been considered kami in Shinto. For example, the guardian spirits of the land, occupations, and skills spirits of Japanese heroes, men of outstanding deeds or virtues, and those who have contributed to civilization, culture and human welfare those who have died for the state or the community and the pitiable dead. There are other spirits designated as kami as well. Included within the designation of ancestral spirits are spirits of the ancestors of the Imperial House of Japan, but also ancestors of noble families as well as the spirits of the ancestors of all people. Some of the objects or phenomena designated as kami are qualities of growth, fertility, and production natural phenomena like wind and thunder natural objects like the sun, mountains, rivers, trees, and rocks some animals and ancestral spirits. As a result, the nature of what can be called kami is very general and encompasses many different concepts and phenomena. Modern Shinto began as the various ancient animistic traditional spirituality of Japan, which only became an institutionalized spirituality much later as a result of efforts to separate out influences of other religions brought into Japan from abroad. Kami are the central objects of worship for the Shinto faith. In his Kojiki-den, Motoori Norinaga gave a definition of kami: No need was felt to locate them beyond this world. In fact, traditionally human beings like the Emperor could be kami. Shinto kami are located within the world and not above it. Following the discovery of the Jōdai Tokushu Kanazukai it is now known that the medieval word kami (上) meaning "above" is a false cognate with the modern kami (神), and the etymology of "heavenly beings" is therefore incorrect. An apparently cognate form, perhaps a loanword, occurs in the Ainu language as kamuy and refers to an animistic concept very similar to Japanese kami. It is written with the kanji " 神", Sino-Japanese reading shin or jin in Chinese, the character is used to refer to various nature spirits of traditional Chinese religion, but not to the Taoist deities or the Supreme Being. Kami may, at its root, simply mean "spirit", or an aspect of spirituality. In other cases, such as those concerning the phenomenon of natural emanation, kami are the spirits dwelling in trees, or forces of nature. In some instances, such as Izanagi-no-Mikoto and Izanami-no-Mikoto, kami are personified deities, similar to the gods of ancient Greece or Rome. The wide variety of usage of the word can be compared to the Sanskrit Deva and the Hebrew Elohim, which also refer to God, gods, angels or spirits. Although the word is sometimes translated as "god" or " deity", some Shinto scholars argue that such a translation can cause a misunderstanding of the term.
