As we know, shiki fuujin jutsu summons the death god which takes the soul of
the summoner and target. But is it a summoning jutsu or just a kind of chakra
attack (like rasengan, chidori etc)?

Is shiki fuujin a summoning jutsu?


Actually this technique is a sealing jutsu that summons the death god and
seals away the soul, both the one sealed and the summoner.

Indeed, [Dead Demon Consuming
Seal](http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Dead_Demon_Consuming_Seal) or simply _Shiki
Fūjin_ is summoning Shinigami. But first, let's recall what requires for
[Summoning Jutsu](http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Summoning_Technique) to work.

We know that when Hiruzen Sarutobi performing this technique, he skipped steps
such as donate summoner's blood and plant summoner's hand to the ground, or
anywhere. AFAIK, Summoning Jutsu is classified as
[Ninjutsu](http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Ninjutsu) and [Space-Time
Ninjutsu](http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Space%E2%80%93Time_Ninjutsu), where
_Shiki Fūjin_ is classified as
[Ninjutsu](http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Ninjutsu),
[Fūinjutsu](http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Fuinjutsu) and
[Kinjutsu](http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Kinjutsu).  
  
As [**Space-Time Ninjutsu Definition
says**](http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Space%E2%80%93Time_Ninjutsu), _all
summoning-based techniques are space–time manipulation related, as they warp
the targets through a dimensional void to the summoner's location._ This makes
a clear classification where _Shiki Fūjin_ is **not** a Summoning Jutsu,
because _Shiki Fūjin_ doesn't classified as Space-Time Ninjutsu. I guess even
though Hiruzen is indeed summoning Shinigami, it can't easily state that it is
a Summoning Technique since Shinigami is type of soul creature, maybe it is a
kind of _Summoning Kinjutsu_ instead of _Summoning Ninjutsu_ or some sort of
thing.  
  
In a nutshell, _Shiki Fūjin_ is mainly
[Fūinjutsu](http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Fuinjutsu), which seal objects,
living beings, chakra, along with a wide variety of other things within
another object, such as sealing scroll.
