In other terms shinshoku also will be found with kannushi as well . Originally, the kannushi were intermediaries between kami and could transmit their will to common humans. A kannushi was a man capable of miracles or a holy man who, because of his practice of purificatory rites, was able to work as a medium for a kami. Later the term evolved to being synonymous with shinshoku, that is, a man who works at a shrine and holds religious ceremonies there.

Could it be said accurately that this dual rule from Kyoto and Kamakura might have a parallel in the dual rule of Constantinople and Rome in the Roman Empire?

[@dereksmith861]

Sort of

[@dereksmith861]

After the reign of Theodosius 1, the eastern and western parts of the empire were split. This essentially made both sections of the empire entirely independent, though they never really went to war with each other. So, sort of similar; it is just that eastern and western Rome had almost no contact with each other.

Sure, I guess anything's possible. The story is that he was rattled by the prediction and sought advice from this influential court lady, who convinced him to go ahead with the plan. Seems legit.
