| Though kagura performed by Ise priests went into decline in the Meiji period, it is thought to have spread to various places in Japan before then, having combined with elements of the Kumano Shinko cult, Shugendo (mountain asceticism), Onmyodo (yin-yang cosmology) and Shushoe (New Year's festival). |
伊勢御師の神楽は明治期に衰退したが、それ以前の段階において熊野信仰や修験道・陰陽道・修正会などの要素と組み合わさった形で日本各地に広まったと考えられている。 |
