Shintoism and Buddhism remain the two strongest influences in Japanese religious development...

Shinto, of course, look at Hirohito, God Emperor of Japan, was considered fully divine until the American forces forced him to renounce his divinity. Now, according to Shinto, every Emperor, Hirohito besides, is still divine. It's had the largest influence on their literature, their way of life, their entertainment. Inari, Amaterasu, Tsukiyomi, and Kitsune are still a large part of Japanese culture, after all.

Confucianism and Buddhism came latter and were added on or were private substitutes
