A characteristic of Goryū Shintō (御流神道) in Kōyasan in the early modern period is its transmission in conjunction with Yuiitsu Shintō (
唯一神
道), which was begun by Eisen (英仙, 1666–1745 and later). According to prior research into the
Yuiitsu Shintō mokuroku tomo hachijō (
唯一神
道
目六共八帖), this had been transmitted to Eisen in 1726 from Fujiwara no Masayori (藤原正依), a Shintō priest of the Ashimida Shrine (足見田神社). However, examination of the document reveals that the extant works do not accord with the
Mokuroku. Accordingly, I searched for the lacking documents and reconstituted Eisen’s
shōgyō (聖教), and discovered the missing documents in the
Yuiitsu gokuhi (唯一極秘).
Through the discovery of the Yuiitsu Shintō shoshidai (
唯一神
道諸次第), the facts that Masayori transmitted this content to a monk named Yūga (雄雅)
prior to Eisen in 1723, and that Eisen added in the
Misogiharae narabi ni tsūyō norito (身曽貴祓并通用祝詞), were made clear. In other words, from the point that Masayori transmitted the above
shōgyō to monks in general, his transmission to Eisen seems to have been not so unique.
