Outline of Final Research Achievements

We reprinted various historical materials of the Edo period such as diaries　which Nishinomiya Shrine in Hyogo prefecture, which was the base of the　cult of Ebisu, possesses, and then clarified the role, activity, and change　of its Shinto priests. Additionally, we clarified their geographical　distribution and existence form by researching the historical materials to　be related to shajin (Shinto priests of a lower rank) who were under the　dominion of the Shrine of the whole country. Moreover, we fixed the future　research system by, for instance, photographing the diaries of the modern　times which the Shrine possess.
