Shinto nationalization (神道国教化 Shinto Kokyoka) is a national Indoctrination movement in the early Meiji period that placed Shinto at the core of its ideology. While in reality it is an indoctrination movement, it is also a Imperial ritual and shrine ritual against the backdrop of the deification of the Emperor of Japan and the movement for salvation. Shinto shrine reforms, along with the Miyanaka ritual and the Shinto shrine reforms, are often understood as a movement to make Shinto the state religion of Japans state religion.
The Missionary Messenger was established in the Ministry of Divinity in the 2nd year of Meiji (1869), and the Proclamation of the Great Religion However, due to inadequacies in both doctrine and personnel, no progress was made. In addition, a proposal was made by the Ministry of Divinities to establish Shinto doctrine and rituals by reforming imperial rituals and shrine rituals and linking them together, but this proposal was also scrapped and never came to fruition.
In 1872 (1872), the Ministry of Shintoism was abolished and a new Ministry of Education was established, with the position of teaching ministry replacing that of missionary mission. The Kyodo Shoku was established in place of the missionary mission. Based on the Sanjo no Kyoken, the Kyodo Shoku attempted to carry out joint missionary work with Buddhism, but the relationship with Buddhism, which had deteriorated due to the Eviction of the Buddha, became a bottleneck and in 1875 In November of the same year, a policy of "freedom of religion" was adopted. The Shinto side also established the Shinto Secretariat and began to adopt its own policy of proselytization and indoctrination. The Shinto nationalization movement continued in detail, but came to an end in both name and reality when the Ministry of Education was abolished in 1877 (1877) and the position of Teaching Minister was abolished in 1884 (1885).
