Classified as an <a href="/wiki/East_Asian_religions" title="East Asian religions">East Asian religion</a> by <a href="/wiki/Religious_studies" title="Religious studies">scholars of religion</a>, its practitioners often regard it as Japan's <a href="/wiki/Indigenous_religion" title="Indigenous religion">indigenous religion</a> and as a <a href="/wiki/Nature_religion" title="Nature religion">nature religion</a>. Scholars sometimes call its practitioners Shintoists, although adherents rarely use that term themselves. There is no central authority in control of Shinto, with much diversity of belief and practice evident among practitioners. A <a href="/wiki/Polytheism" title="Polytheism">polytheistic</a> and <a href="/wiki/Animism" title="Animism">animistic</a> religion, Shinto revolves around supernatural entities called the <a href="/wiki/Kami" title="Kami">kami</a> (神). The kami are believed to inhabit all things, including forces of nature and prominent landscape locations. The kami are worshipped at <a href="/wiki/Kamidana" title="Kamidana">kamidana</a> household shrines, family shrines, and <a href="/wiki/Shinto_shrine" title="Shinto shrine">jinja public shrines</a>. The latter are staffed by priests, known as <a href="/wiki/Kannushi" title="Kannushi">kannushi</a>, who oversee offerings of food and drink to the specific kami enshrined at that location. This is done to cultivate harmony between humans and kami and to solicit the latter's blessing. Other common rituals include the <a href="/wiki/Kagura" title="Kagura">kagura</a> dances, <a href="/wiki/Rites_of_passage" class="mw-redirect" title="Rites of passage">rites of passage</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Japanese_festivals" title="Japanese festivals">kami festivals</a>. Public shrines facilitate forms of <a href="/wiki/Divination" title="Divination">divination</a> and supply religious objects, such as <a href="/wiki/Amulet" title="Amulet">amulets</a>, to the religion's adherents. Shinto places a major conceptual focus on ensuring purity, largely by cleaning practices such as ritual washing and bathing, especially before worship. Little emphasis is placed on specific moral codes or particular afterlife beliefs, although the dead are deemed capable of becoming kami. The religion has no single creator or specific doctrine, and instead exists in a diverse range of local and regional forms. Although historians debate at what point it is suitable to refer to Shinto as a distinct religion, kami veneration has been traced back to Japan's <a href="/wiki/Yayoi_period" title="Yayoi period">Yayoi period</a> (300 BC to 300 AD). <a href="/wiki/Chinese_Buddhism" title="Chinese Buddhism">Buddhism</a> entered Japan at the end of the <a href="/wiki/Kofun_period" title="Kofun period">Kofun period</a> (300 to 538 AD) and spread rapidly. <a href="/wiki/Syncretism" title="Syncretism">Religious syncretization</a> made kami worship and Buddhism functionally inseparable, a process called <a href="/wiki/Shinbutsu-sh%C5%ABg%C5%8D" title="Shinbutsu-shūgō">shinbutsu-shūgō</a>. The kami came to be viewed as part of <a href="/wiki/Buddhist_cosmology" title="Buddhist cosmology">Buddhist cosmology</a> and were increasingly depicted <a href="/wiki/Anthropomorphism" title="Anthropomorphism">anthropomorphically</a>. The earliest written tradition regarding kami worship was recorded in the 8th-century <a href="/wiki/Kojiki" title="Kojiki">Kojiki</a> and <a href="/wiki/Nihon_Shoki" title="Nihon Shoki">Nihon Shoki</a>. In ensuing centuries, shinbutsu-shūgō was adopted by Japan's Imperial household. During the <a href="/wiki/Meiji_era" title="Meiji era">Meiji era</a> (1868 to 1912), Japan's <a href="/wiki/Japanese_nationalism" title="Japanese nationalism">nationalist</a> leadership expelled Buddhist influence from kami worship and formed <a href="/wiki/State_Shinto" title="State Shinto">State Shinto</a>, which some historians regard as the origin of Shinto as a distinct religion. Shrines came under growing government influence, and citizens were encouraged to worship the <a href="/wiki/Emperor_of_Japan" title="Emperor of Japan">emperor</a> as a kami. With the formation of the <a href="/wiki/Japanese_Empire" class="mw-redirect" title="Japanese Empire">Japanese Empire</a> in the early 20th century, Shinto was exported to other areas of East Asia. Following Japan's defeat in <a href="/wiki/World_War_II" title="World War II">World War II</a>, Shinto was formally <a href="/wiki/Secular_state" title="Secular state">separated from the state</a>. Shinto is primarily found in Japan, where there are around 100,000 public shrines, although practitioners are also found abroad. Numerically, it is Japan's largest religion, the second being Buddhism. Most of the country's population takes part in both Shinto and Buddhist activities, especially festivals, reflecting a common view in <a href="/wiki/Culture_of_Japan" title="Culture of Japan">Japanese culture</a> that the beliefs and practices of different religions need not be exclusive.

the dead are not stored at the shrine.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEPicken201119-377">[377]</a> Although not common, there have been examples of funerals conducted through Shinto rites. The earliest examples are known from the mid-17th century; these occurred in certain areas of Japan and had the support of the local authorities.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEKenney2000241-378">[378]</a> Following the Meiji Restoration, in 1868 the government recognised specifically Shinto funerals for Shinto priests.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEBocking1997187Kenney2000240-379">[379]</a> Five years later, this was extended to cover the entire Japanese population.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEKenney2000240–241-380">[380]</a> Despite this Meiji promotion of Shinto funerals, the majority of the population continued to have Buddhist funeral rites.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEKenney2000241-378">[378]</a> In recent decades, Shinto funerals have usually been reserved for Shinto priests and for members of certain Shinto sects.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEBocking1997188-381">[381]</a> After <a href="/wiki/Cremation" title="Cremation">cremation</a>, the normal funerary process in Japan, the ashes of a priest may be interred near to the shrine, but not inside its precincts.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEPicken201171-127">[127]</a> Ancestral reverence remains an important part of Japanese religious custom.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEPicken201139-138">[138]</a> The invocation of the dead, and especially the war dead, is known as shōkon.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEBocking1997182-166">[166]</a> Various rites reference this.
