Shinkan (official)

Shinkan (神官) were government officials serving at shakaku-ranked Shinto shrines in Japan.

However, in 1887, at shrines ranking below kanpei-sha, with the exception of Ise Grand Shrine, the position of shinkan was abolished and the position of shinshoku was introduced.

In 1945, Ise Grand Shrine abolished the position of shinkan.

[2] Today, the position of shinkan does not exist, and the kannushi of Shinto shrines are collectively referred to as shinshoku.
