Cynicism of no few postwar Japanese finds religious and figurative expression in explosions of divinity, but no historiography of this subject comes close to the mark without addressing the persisting recrudescences of pantheistic Shintoism, which is first chronicled in early Kofun -- predating the shogunates by nearly a millennium.
Moreover, Meiji's dictates delineated and physically separated the faiths, but never proscribed shinbutsu-shugo. Japanese depict divinity less fatally than flexibly.
