Shrine Shinto
Shinto shrines and their rituals are conducted in accordance with sacred texts such as the Kojiki and Nihon Shoki, which are considered important scriptures in Shintoism. The Kannushi, who hold positions such as priests, priests-in-charge, and administrators of the rituals, are responsible for conducting these rituals. However, the miko, who are female attendants at Shinto shrines, are not considered part of the priesthood in Shintoism. While a Kagura dancer, who performs traditional Shinto dance, may participate in Shinto rituals, they are not authorized to preside over or perform the rituals in a priestly role.
