Japanese: 麗気記
Source state: MULTIPLE DIGITIZED MANUSCRIPTS/PRINTS LOCATED

Institutional holdings now located include:

  • Wakayama Prefectural Museum 1672 printed copy;
  • Nagoya University 1646 manuscript;
  • Imperial Household Agency Shoryōbu multi-fascicle copy;
  • other manuscript traditions.

The corpus consists of doctrinal texts plus four iconographic sections and became a foundational scripture for Goryū/Ryōbu Shintō.

Research on Shintō kanjō identifies Reikiki not merely as theology but as a mythological/ontological framework for initiation.

The four shintai-zu fascicles must be acquired as images and indexed diagram by diagram.
