shinshoku (Shinto clergy, clergy, ... People (hierarchy name)) |
|
Note: Priests in the Shintō religion of Japan. The main function of the shinshoku is to officiate at all shrine ceremonies on behalf of and at the request of worshippers. He is not expected to lecture, preach, or act as spiritual leader to his parishioners; rather, his main role is to ensure the continuance of a satisfactory relationship between the kami (god or sacred power) and the worshipper through offerings, evocation of the kami, and mediation of the deity’s blessing to the parishioners. |
