Arajin.
Kamiyagawa understood this concept.
Now, he had also accumulated quite a bit of theoretical knowledge on the subject.
In Japan, what are called Arajin are generally youkai who possess a certain degree of folk belief, but lack an absolute orthodox Divinity.
For example, the Granny of the Mountain, Echoing Children, and King Inosasao of Aokigahara were once revered in small circles as mountain gods or gods of the forest.
Therefore, they can all be categorized as Arajin.
After Mary established her Shrine and initially drew upon the power of faith, she too could be considered an Arajin.
In contrast to the concept of Arajin is that of "orthodox deity."
Orthodox deities generally possess absolute and orthodox Divinity, with their names recorded within the Deity system of Shinto Religion.
