Shinto esotericism?

[Alea iacta est]

Is there anything as Shinto esotericism? The Shinto religion itself is very spiritual so it might not be a need for an esoteric version of Shinto, as in many other religions? Are there any books about this? I searched for it online but could only find Shinto-Buddhist syncretism from China. It wasn't really what I was looking for.

I've never heard of anything along the lines of "esoteric Shintoism". Sorry to be of no help.

Good find! I wonder how traditional that cosmology is?

It's been a long while since I read it, and I'm unable to judge the traditionality of it since I'm not an expert in shinto. I only know it came highly recommended. It's a book from before the internet, so there are not many reviews or information about it. It goes for a rather low price, perhaps the name of the book is a bit off-putting to those modern people looking into shinto.

Thanks for the recommendation! That's very helpful!
