Nagoshisai Information on Shinto rituals
About the Nagoshisai and Kaya no Wakuro Shinto rituals
A long time ago in the gods, Susano Onomikoto asked the brothers of Kotan Shorai and Somin Shorai for accommodation during their journey. Wealthy giants refused to stay in the future, but Somin Shorai was poor but hospitable. After that, Susano Onomikoto visited again and gave the Somin Shorai a ring of kaya, saying that if he wore it and made a ring of kaya, he could avoid disasters. And when the epidemic broke out, the Somin Shorai family fell ill, but the Somin Shorai family, who wore a kaya ring, were saved.
Following this ancient affair, Kaya has a spirit of purifying the mind and body as a sacred plant. It was a Shinto ritual to pray for disease-free breathing.
Kaya no Wa Kuguri Shinto ritual
In front of the main shrine, all the attendees chant “Oharai” and then sprinkle Kirinusa (finely cut hemp and paper) on their shoulders to purify themselves.
Then, while chanting "Minazuki's Natsukoshi's worshiper ...", he goes through the ring of Kaya three times, starting with the priest holding a doll.
