Sannou Ichijitsu Shinto is a school of Shinto heavily influenced by the Tendai sect.
Hie Shinto is the more common name; 山王一実神道 is an alternate designation for the same tradition.
The name combines 山王 (Sannou, the mountain king deity) with 一実 (ichijitsu, 'one reality', a Tendai concept) and 神道 (Shinto). The exact historical derivation is uncertain, but it reflects the syncretic nature of this tradition.
