10a) asian religion very much open to suggestion

[michael59]

Shinto is a japanese religion

Do you have any letters so far? Shiite is a sect of Islam. I don't know of any religion called shifty!

[Safiya]

I think Shinto is Japanese but wouldn't swear to it. Never heard of shifty as a religion. That just leaves Shi'ite but I don't get the 'very much open to suggestion' bit but then I'm not good at crosswords.

oh there was no one there when I started lol

IMO, is "very much open to suggestion" from michael, it's not part of the clue?

[dtgblue]

well its a good clue for shinto dont you agree

[octogenarian]

So ( very much )round hint (suggestion )

[boxtops]
