feudalism shrines no one art none ceremonies
the military aristocrats

Explanation:

For the Shintoism section:

• Shintoism is based on animism (the belief that natural things have spirits).
• Followers 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 book), and the key figure is no one (Shinto has no single religious leader).

For the Heian Period:

• The aristocrats were the elite group controlling government, spending time on art and ceremonies.

For Military Society:

• After Heian, the military (samurai - led by shogun) took over. The group was the military aristocrats. The system was Feudalism (land - based power distribution).
