Major interests
[edit]Japanese language (studying as an amateur at JLPT N1 level + informal Japanese) and Japanese religion
Main goal
[edit]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.
Current edits
[edit]None
Created pages
