日本人の宗教的アイデンティティ・山折哲雄, in (if my notes are correct) 「宗教の比較文明学」, 中牧弘允　(Nakamaki Hirochika)  (1993), p. 141. GOO has an entry, so has Kojien. The Japanese Wikipedia has an entry (which I swiftly used as a starting point for an entry in the English wikipedia). 
(comment)	Since the word has no real English equivalent, I tried to define it, but I am not entirely happy with the result (I am not a native speaker of English); please feel free to edit it.

(comment)	"Minna no Nihongo 2's" English companion book lists another meaning of 「打つ」 as "to type"--for example, 「ワープロを打ちます」. Should this be added to the definitions of this word?
