Major interests
Japanese language (studying as an amateur at JLPT N1 level + informal Japanese) and Japanese religion

Main goal
Initially, I started to build a personal Shinto shrine database, based on 神社庁 and shrine information from Japanese websites. The goal was to have an easy access to Shrine name readings and characteristics of enshrined deities when I travel in Japan. It became too big of a project, and I decided to improve Wikipedia instead.

My goal is to create new pages for Shinto shrines and deities.

 * Saginomori Shrine 鷺森神社, found by chance while walking in a residential area in Kyoto 左京区 in November 2019
 * Tsunashiki Tenjin Shrine 綱敷天神社 after I visited it by chance in Osaka in November 2019
