Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Shinto ("the way of the gods") is the indigenous faith of the Japanese people and as old as Japan itself. It remains Japan’s major religion alongside Buddhism.
Detailed explanation-2: -Buddhist institutions were attacked again in the early years of the Meiji Period, when the new government favored Shinto as the state religion and made efforts to separate and emancipate Shinto from Buddhism. Today, roughly two thirds of the Japanese population consider themselves Buddhists.
