Descrição
When the term “priest” is used to describe a samurai, it is natural to think of shugenja, those rare and powerful individuals who are able to invoke the elemental kami directly and cause them to manifest potent effects in the Realm of Mortals. Most priests, however, are not shugenja. Rather, they are sincere in their devotion to and reverence for the kami, but their communion with the spirits is subtler. By no means does this diminish them or their importance, however. For most spiritual purposes, samurai seek the guidance and assistance of these priests. Such individuals offer prayers and devotions to the kami—and may, from time to time, even be rewarded with minor blessings by the spirits. They also conduct many of the rituals important to samurai and commoners alike, such as blessing fields and sanctifying ritual spaces, performing weddings and funerals, and crafting charms and talismans blessed by their favored deities.
