Template:Short description Script error: No such module "Nihongo". is a Shinto technical term that indicates both the process of dividing a Shinto kami to be re-enshrined somewhere else (such as a house's kamidana), and the spirit itself produced by the division.[1] Shrines conduct bunrei to distribute them to "child" shrines elsewhere.[2] The spirit of kami does not decrease through this act, and a bunrei functions the same way as the original spirit.[3] The reason for conducting bunrei is often to make a kami more accessible to worshipers far from the main shrine.
For details, see the article about the similar term Kanjō.
