AMSTERDAM (Kyodo) Dutch former actor Paul de Leeuw is recognized as the only Shinto master in Europe.
An actor before becoming a Shinto priest, he now gives classes and lectures about meditation.
The classical author Zeami, known as Kanze Motokiyo, used to say, "it is all about concentration." Zeami (1363-1443) is considered the father of noh. Concentration is everything, not only in theater, but also in Shinto, from which noh emerged. De Leeuw, 58, combines both.
