Bunrei
Bunrei or wakemitama is a Shinto technical term that indicates both the process of dividing a Shinto kami to be re-enshrined somewhere else, and the spirit itself produced by the division. Shrines conduct bunrei to distribute them to "child" shrines elsewhere. The spirit of kami does not decrease through this act, and a bunrei functions the same way as the original spirit. The reason for conducting bunrei is often to make a kami more accessible to worshipers far from the main shrine.
