In Japanese Shintoism, for example, kami is a concept that allows natural phenomena, animals and rocks among other forces of nature to possess qualities original to deities and spirits. Stone Being is a study of the possible spirit of lifeless material and the human reactions to them. Could the stone have knowledge that we can’t even imagine to exist?
