Yoshida Kanetomo

Yoshida Kanetomo (吉田兼倶, 1435–1511^?) was a Japanese Shinto priest of the Sengoku period. He was a seminal figure in the evolution of a coherent descriptive and interpretive schema of Shinto ritual and mythology.

Kanetomo progressed gradually through the ranks of the Imperial offices in the Jingi-kan (Department of Shinto Affairs), which was one of the Imperial bureaucracies which were set up under the ritsuryō system in the 8th century. Kanetomo's eventually became an Imperial Chamberlain (侍従, jijū^?). Other positions he held at different times were Senior Assistant Director of Divinities (神祇大輔, jingi taifu^?) and Vice Director of the Board of Censors (弾正台弼, danjōdai hitsu^?).
