neteisingai
Neteisingai is a term used in Shinto to describe a type of ritual or practice that is of minor or unimportant significance. The term itself roughly translates to "unimportant" or "non-essential" in English. However, in the context of Shinto, neteisingai refers to a ritual or practice that does not directly pertain to the main deity or focus of a shrine.
Neteisingai often includes activities that are considered useful or beneficial for the daily life and well-being
Examples of neteisingai can be found in various Shinto techniques, such as the purification of ritually contaminated
The term neteisingai should not be confused with a concealed or disguised sort when describing hidden rituals
