Wikipedia's article on Shugendo, the Japanese mountain ascetic tradition, giving En no Gyoja as its traditional patriarch, its central sacred mountains (Omine, Kinpusen, Kumano Sanzan, Dewa Sanzan), the yamabushi and shugenja practitioner terms, its institutional lineages through the Shingon and Tendai Buddhist schools (Shogoin, Kinpusen-ji, Sanbo-in), the Meiji government's 1872 ban on the tradition and its postwar revival, and the mountain training practice (nyubu shugyo) that remains central today, a continuously revised, community edited tertiary encyclopedia entry with no named author, hence the lower tier, though useful for these documented names, sites and dates.
