| Beschreibung: | This article describes a set of rituals, closely related to esoteric Buddhist initiations, in which imperial and kami symbols often replace Buddhist ones. These rituals were at the basis of the transmission of knowledge and practices concerning the kami within the larger framework of medieval and early-modern kenmitsu religiosity, a form of applied honji suijaku. Particularly important among these rituals is the role of Reiki kanjo, the secret initiation to the Reikiki, an influential but elusive key text of pre modern combinatory religion. After the Meiji period these ritual traditions have been dismissed as syncretic aberrations from “pure ” Buddhist or Shinto orthodoxy, and have never been studied in depth. However, it was within the context of esoteric kami initiations that the first Shinto lineages took concrete shape. Finally, this article also points out that while these rit ual traditions were of medieval origin, they reached their largest diffusion in the early nineteenth century. This fact forces us to reconsider the estab lished image of Edo~period Shinto as a religion moving away from Bud dhism. |
