Certainly. Subsidiarity is implied in the local “Kami” idea. If a river Kami can resolve issues concerning that river, you certainly do not go to a global Kami. In fact, in the Japanese system, there is no global Kami. There are just many overlapping circles, and disputes are resolved through protocols that bridge those different communities. For example, you can easily imagine, in addition to a “creation care” safeguard Kami and a “climate justice” safeguard Kami, another Kami that specifically translates between those two epistemic norms without appealing to a higher authority. I think that is an excellent implementation of the Ostromian idea of managing the commons at the lowest possible level.
