Explanation:

To solve this fill - in - the - blank about Japanese history and Shintoism, we analyze each section:

Shintoism Section

1. Shintoism is based on "Japanese tradition" (cultural basis) and "animism" (the belief that nature has spirits). People worship "kami" (nature spirits). To honor "kami" (protective spirits), they build "shrines". The sacred text is "none" (Shinto has no single sacred text like a Bible), and the key figure is "no one" (Shinto has no single religious leader).

Heian Period Section

During the Heian period, "aristocrats" (elite group) controlled the government. "Aristocrats" spent time in the capital making "art" and performing "ceremonies".

Military Society Section

After Heian, "the military" (specifically led by shogun - related forces) took over. This group was made of "samurai" (though from word bank, "the military" and related; the group was military - based, and the new system was "Feudalism" (land - based power distribution).
