shintai

Where it comes from

Borrowed from Japanese 神体(しんたい) (shintai).

noun shintai

A physical object (either natural or man-made) worshipped at or near Shinto shrines as a repository for spirits or kami. But Ryōtora had definitely moved a shintai during the makeshift festival – and it must have been Saiun-nushi’s, because Sekken couldn’t imagine the shugenja could call a kami into a foreign vessel without noticing.
