Untitled[edit]

There is an excellent book on Shinto rituals which reveals a lot about Suwa Shrine--John K. Nelson's A Year in the Life of a Shinto Shrine. I'm currently busy with schoolwork, but if nobody has expanded this by then, I will be happy to. Wixteria 02:45, 22 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I updated this page using Nelson's book. Please take a look at it, and add anything else you feel is missing! MightyAtom 04:47, 21 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This is one of the best articles I have seen regarding Shinto shrines yet. If it were to have more frequent reference citations, and maybe a bit more content on the specific architecture, it might even be a GA contender. However, I do have to admit that my own knowledge of the specific parameters for Architecture GAs isn't particularly extensive. John Carter 13:52, 11 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
