Koga Takemichi (久我建通ja:久我建通) is a thinker on Sect Shinto.

The impetus for denominational Shinto was the separation of Shinto and Buddhism, which began in 1868 (first year of Meiji) with the revival of the Department of Divinities and the separation of Shinto and Buddhism, which started with the Shinto-Buddhist Hanzen Order, a Daijo-kan directive.[1] This led to the formation of the unity of ritual and government, and a Shinto government was revived. Around then, official decrees abolished the hereditary system of Shinto priests, thus ending the jurisdiction of the Shirakawa and Yoshida families over Shinto.[1]

The rituals of the Shinto shrines are the religious services of the state, and it is, of course, true that they are not the private property of one person or one family. This is a common practice in the country, and priests are considered to be a separate species from the people. —  Meiji 4th Year Taishogun's Bulletin No. 234

During this transition, the concept of missionaries to propagate Shinto remained. In 1870 (Meiji 3), the imperial Taikyo Proclamation designated Shinto as the state religion.[2][3] The Taikyo Institute was established in 1872 (Meiji 5) as a missionary organization, but was dissolved in 1875 (Meiji 8). It was succeeded by the Bureau of Shinto Affairs in the same year, to which the originally disparate folk belief religions belonged.

Overview[edit]

In 1872 (Meiji 5), the Missionary Office was abolished and replaced with the Ministry of Religion.[4] In April, Shinto priests and monks were assigned kyōdō shoku positions, of which there were 14 ranks.[2] The Ministry was later dissolved in 1877, and kyōdō shoku was abolished in 1884.[5]

The priesthood was initially divided geographically in two on April 29, with the eastern division headed by Konoe Tadafusa, priest of Ise Grand Shrine, and the western division headed by Senge Takatomi, the grand priest of Izumo Taisha Shrine. Since it was assumed that one's religious affiliation was free, there was a struggle for power between the Ise and Izumo factions.[6] On January 30, 1873, the two-part system was abolished and the two were combined as Shinto. However, it later[when?] became a three-part system with Senge Takatomi, Koga Takemichi, and Inaba Masakuni, and then a four-part system with the addition of Tanaka Yoriyasu, the grand priest of the Ise Grand Shrine. On that same day,[when?] the Kurozumikyō and Shinto Shusei were specially established as denominational Shinto sects, and the compartment system was abolished.[7]
