Throughout history, the intellectual challenges of pedagogy have been compounded by many societal issues. Because teac ...

Shinto - Practice and teaching of Shinto: Encyclopedia II - Jinja Shinto - Origin

It is believed that a jinja had originally been only a temporary shrine constructed for a periodical matsuri at a sacred place such as a mountain or cave.

Some believe that the practice of constructing shaden is from Buddhism; even tod ...
