Moonlight Selenia is right.

That's what they are : Shintô theologian able to identify gods and spirits. Since they are a lot in Japan. The game's authors coined the term Saniwa with a certain idea of psychometry and fantasy aspects, so I suppose in most japanese's heads, they find it normal, unsuprising, that's the kind of scenario they can easily accept and bend into for cultural reasons. So the staff didn't took the time of explaining what is a Saniwa.

Kinda like in the West, if we say "a wizzard in a fantasy setting, throwing a fire ball" no one will find it strange nor will be surprised or ask for explanations because that's not scientific. lol
