Welcome to the site of Japanese Dutch
Shinzen Foundation, the home of Shinto in
Europe.
We aim to introduce the ancient Japanese
tradition of Shinto to the Western world.
Since 1981 we have established a Shinto
shrine in Amsterdam, the Netherlands.
Dutch shinto master Paul de Leeuw MA
has studied in 1979 in the Yamakage Shinto
Shrine Kireigu, Aichi-ken, Japan where he
received - as the first not-Japanese person - the
license of kannushi. He is officially entitled to
perform shinto-ceremonies.
To learn more about our activities and
history, please continue your visit on this English
site or select another language of your choice:
Japanese or Dutch.
