How would a polytheistic religion worshipping Touhous work? Would there be one big temple where you worship them all and then there are smaller shrines and smaller temples dedicated to individual touhous?

>>	Anonymous Fri Feb 20 23:51:24 2009 No.2118129 I was always under the impression that the main reason that the shrine exists is for the boarder to stay active. I know it isn't but sure looks like it.

>>	Anonymous Fri Feb 20 23:57:56 2009 No.2118146 No I meant, how would it work if we were to set one up? Would there be statues of the touhous honoured in their respective temples? And so on.

Just consider them individual kami and you're all set. Then again, this is /jp/. This board's comprehension of Shinto is probably at about the same level as a fat man's comprehension of the salad bar only option at the Sizzler. That is, not at all.

Might be unnecessary.
Being fictional and all, touhous are in the same gray zone as mythological characters in general. And the shinto pantheon is pretty damn big, it's not like anyone can keep track of them all. 100 LOLHAX shrine maidens, oni, bridge princesses, gap monsters, boobinite reapers, moon bunnies, cow-lion-thingies, etc. more or less wouldn't really be noticed. They're all out there in the corner where they're just there but nobody cares.
Shinto as it is now is accidentally worshipping touhous.
