1. kokka shinto

   Kokka Shinto or "State Shinto" refers to the form of Shinto, the national religion of Japan, that was propagated by the Japanese government in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. It was characterized by the worship of the emperor as a divine figure and the promotion of Japan's national identity and cultural superiority. This form of state-sanctioned and funded Shinto was used for nationalistic purposes and aimed to legitimize imperial rule. After World War II, the Allied Occupation authorities abolished Kokka Shinto to establish a separation between the state and religious institutions.
