A Shinto priest

A Shinto priest

The word Kannushi (Shinto Priest) is generally understood to mean the whole of the Shinto priesthood, but it actually only refers to the priests who preside over religious rituals and is distinguished from Guji (deputy chief) who is responsible for the administration of a Shinto shrine. A Kannushi wears pure white garments. The vestments are designated according to rank.==Date:unknown, Place:unknown, Photo:Uchida Kuichi?, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number2‐47‐0]
