Outline

Established on March 28, 1875 (Meiji 8), the Shinto Secretariat was created to take over the jurisdiction of the Daikyoin, which was about to be dissolved on May 3 with the abolition of joint Shinto and Buddhist missionary work by the Ministry of Religious Education on April 30. The Shinto Secretariat was established as an organization with the purpose of making the Shinto world independent before the dissolution of the Daikyoin on May 3.

Groups that met certain conditions, such as the number of believers, could become independent as a Sect Shinto sect.

In 1880 (13th year of Meiji), internal strife in the Shinto world intensified over the deity of the Shinto Secretariat temple, and the Ise and Izumo schools came into conflict with each other. 1881 (Meiji 14) On January 25, the Ministry of Home Affairs convened a Shinto Grand Council in Tokyo by imperial decree, and on February 23, it was decreed that the deities of the shrine would be the Shinto Spirits of the Imperial Palace.^[2]

At the same time, in February 1881, Prince Nobuhito Arisugawa was appointed president, and Taira Iwase was appointed vice president. On November 4, 1882 (Meiji 15), the Shinto Secretariat was established as an independent organization, the Shinto Secretariat [ja] and established the Imperial Court Research Institute. In 1885 (Meiji 18), Inaba Masakuni succeeded Arisugawa as the first president.

On January 11, 1886 (Meiji 19), the Shinto Secretariat was reorganized into the Shinto Main Bureau (also simply Shinto) and became a denominational Shinto sect by itself. In 1912, the so-called The Thirteen Schools of Shinto came together to form the Rengokai.
