Katsuragi Shinto

Japanese: 葛城神道 - かつらぎしんとう

This Shinto sect was founded in 1786 by the Shingon Buddhist monk Jion Sonja Onko at the foot of Mount Katsuragi in Kawachi Province by the Shingon Buddhist priest Jion Sonja Onko. Its basic scriptures are the Kojiki and Nihon Shoki, and it preaches Shinto according to the principles of esoteric Buddhism. Its secrets are sincere conscience and the righteous principles of the emperor and his subjects, and it rejects Confucianism, which preaches the way of husband and wife and friendship. It is also called Unden Shinto, meaning Shinto handed down by Jion.
