Kan'nushi Jay Creasy
Jay “Také” Creasy is currently a Kan’nushi (Shinto priest) studying with
Ito Chihiro of Japan.
A Kan’nushi , also called shinshoku, is the person responsible for the maintenance of a Shinto shrine as well as for leading worship of a given kami. The characters for Kan’nushi are sometimes also read jinshu with the same meaning. Originally the Kan’nushi were intermediaries between kami and could transmit their will to all mankind.
Founded 25 years ago by Kan’nushi Jay Creasy, the Usagi Jinja shrine is one of the few true Japanese Shinto shrines outside of Japan, and the only Shinto shrine in Alberta.
Usagi Jinja (Rabbit Shrine) offers spiritual services as well as operates three yearly festivals. Please visit our writings section to learn more about Shinto.
The picture here depicts Kan'nushi Také with his teacher Gūji Ito Chihiro honoring Také for his continued shinto practice abroad.
