Shinto has neither a specific creed nor specific scriptures, and Japanese classics such as "Kojiki" (the Records of Ancient Matters), "Nihonshoki" (Chronicles of Japan), "Kogo-shui" (History of the Inbe clan) and "imperial edict," which are called 'Shinten,' are norms.
なお、神道には明確な教義や教典がなく、『古事記』、『日本書紀』、『古語拾遺』、『宣命』といった「神典」と称される古典を規範とする。
