Engishiki Shinto Book Head Notes - Engishiki Shinto Book Head Notes

Japanese: 延喜式神名帳頭註 - えんぎしきじんみょうちょうとうちゅう

This is a commentary on the Engishiki Shinmyocho written by Yoshida Kanetomo in 1503 (Bunki 3). The Engishiki Shinmyocho refers to volumes 9 and 10 of the Engishiki, which was completed in 927 (Encho 5), and lists the names of 3,132 shrines to be worshiped by the Jingikan and provincial governors of various provinces under the Ritsuryo system. As the name "Headnotes" suggests, this book is a compilation of notes that Kanetomo originally wrote in the upper column, which were later compiled into one volume so that only the notes can be seen today. The author, Kanetomo, is the master of Yoshida Shinto (Yuiitsu-shu Genshinto, Urabe Shinto).

1503年(文亀3)吉田兼俱（かねとも）により著された〈延喜式神名帳〉についての注釈書。〈延喜式神名帳〉とは，927年(延長5)完成した《延喜式》巻九，十のことで，律令体制下，神祇官また諸国国司のまつるべき3132座の神社名を記した巻である。本書は頭註という名の示すように，はじめその上欄に兼俱が注記していたものを，後人がその注記のみを現在みられるように1巻にまとめたものであろう。著者兼俱は吉田神道(唯一宗源神道，卜部神道)の大成者。
