	Shinto Shrines
		Shrine priests were forbidden to teach doctrine after the 'pantheon dispute' of the 1870's when the imperial household, in order to resolve a damaging quarrel among competing groups of priests about the relative status of the shrines of Ise and Izumo, banned all theological debate.
		Shinto shrines are therefore known not for their doctrines but almost exclusively for the benefits or blessings such as good marriage, business or exam success that they are believed to bestow, and to some extent for the engi or founding legends which explain why the shrine was built in that place, enshrining that particular kami.
		Shrines traditionally developed their teachings and rituals in association with Buddhist temples but after the Meiji restoration of 1868 they were differentiated from Buddhism, nearly half disappeared in 'shrine mergers' and a number of new government-sponsored shrines were built.

	Ise Shrine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Ise Shrine (Ise-jingū 伊勢神宮; alternately Grand Shrines of Ise or Ise Daijingū 伊勢大神宮) is a shrine to Shinto goddess Amaterasu ōmikami, located in the city of Ise in Mie prefecture, Japan.
		According to the official chronology, the shrines were originally constructed in the year 4 BC, but most historians date them from several hundred years later, with 690 AD widely considered the date when the shrines were first built in their current form.
		The region around the shrines is the Ise-Shima National Park and has numerous other holy and historic sites including the 'wedded rocks' Meoto Iwa, and the Saiku (the site of the Heian period imperial residence).

	Watarai Shinto (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		The deities of Ise were identified as the source of Buddhist 'original enlightenment' (hongaku), hence a visit to Ise or participation in Watarai-style shrine-rites was a form of purification or progress towards enlightenment.
		The Ise shrines were originally the private shrines of the imperial family but as financial support for the shrine declined from about the thirteenth century the Watarai priestly clan became active in promoting the outer shrine as a centre for popular devotion, not just imperial rites.
		Nevertheless the role of the Ise shrine as a focus of popular devotion and organised pilgrimage has continued, in tandem with the revitalised concept of the shrine as the private household shrine of the imperial family dedicated to worship of the sun goddess Amaterasu.
