Bunrei

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Bunrei or wakemitama (分霊) is a Shinto technical term that indicates both the process of dividing a Shinto kami to be re-enshrined somewhere else (such as a house's kamidana), and the spirit itself produced by the division.[1]

For details, see the article about the similar term Kanjō.
