For use with a kamidana (Shinto household altar). Approximately 80cm. Made with a magomo (rush) shimenawa (sacred rope) wrapped with indigo-dyed seima (hemp fiber). ~About Magomo~ It is said that when there were no plants on Earth, Susanoo first planted magomo on the ground. Since ancient times, it has been called "the grass where gods reside" and has been treasured as a sacred object and spiritual grass in shrines throughout Japan. It is used for the shimenawa of shrines across Japan that enshrine Susanoo, including Izumo Taisha Shrine. ~About Seima~ Since ancient times, it has been said to "purify impurities that cannot be cleansed with water or salt," and has been used in Japanese traditions and Shinto rituals, such as the shimenawa and suzu-nawa (bell ropes) of shrines, and the shimenawa of yokozuna (sumo grand champions). Since ancient times, it has been believed that "gods reside in hemp," and it is said to have the effects of "warding off evil spirits and protecting against evil," and "purifying impurities that cannot be cleansed with salt or water." It signifies "people's growth, development, prosperity in business, and prosperity of descendants," and is deeply connected to us as a "lucky charm." Hemp is used in the shimenawa of Ise Jingu Shrine. Magomo and seima are yin and yang. Magomo is the energy that attracts yin. It will purify your negativity. Seima is the energy that attracts yang. It will attract good energy. It seems that the amulet effect is enhanced by using magomo and seima as a set. It will be shipped slightly rolled up. Thank you for viewing.
