Because we at our Katori Shintô-ryû Keikôjô bow to Futsunushi no Mikoto, Marishiten and the Ryuso Iizasa Chôizai Ienao i am quite interested in the Kami of other Budô.
If i've read this topic right: http://www.aikiweb.com/forums/showthread.php?t=24398&page=1 there are atleast 2 to 3 other people who also bow in and out with ni rei, ni hakushu ippai.
I am aware that many Aikidôka don't follow Shintô-rites anymore, so this question is just for the people who do:
Which Kami is enshrined in your Kamidana? Is it one of 43 Guardian Deitys of Aikidô? Which one? Or do you enshrine all? Or do you enshrine Morihei Ueshiba and the Line of Doshus in your Kamidana in a ancestorcultish way? or are you ignorant of what is enshrined in the Kamidana and you just do it?
