National Association of Shinto Priests
The National Association of Shinto Priests (全国神職会, Zenkoku Shinshokukai) was a Japanese religious association that promoted the prosperity of Shinto shrines and the improvement and development of Kannushi. It was founded in 1898 to expound the Kokutai ideology. It was dissolved in 1946 with the formation of the religious corporation, which became one of the predecessor organizations of the Association of Shinto Shrines.
