    According to Amy Katoh's 'Otafuku Origins', when Amaterasu Omikami had hidden in a cave, bringing darkness and chaos to the world, Uzume's dance and ensuing hilarity of the gods, brought her out. Shimenawa was used to seal the cave, avoiding Amaterasu going back to the cave, thus returning light and order to the world. This legend prompted us to look for shimenawa in Google, leading us to see this wonderful video.

    I don't know exactly what he did, but it looks like it is similar to making robe, and in that case you can start by spinning the two of them and twist those two together. Afterwards you can spin the third and then spin it together with the two first.

      I've been making shide for about a year and hanging them all over. Now I want to make a shimenawa to hang some from. I think that would look nice on my oldest cedar tree or above my doorway. Perhaps both.

    I noticed the first step was not captured in the video. He twisted two bundles and left the middle bundle untwisted? Is that correct? Or are all three twisted? It's not a basic three strand braid. Did he twist two bundles around one?

    That is so awesome! I wish I could make a Shimenawa. At least I know how to make the paper things (don't know name Is it Shimenawa too?). I am a self profest Shintoist and since Im a westener there are no Shrines for almost infinite miles. So, the only way I can worship is through a Kamidana-whitch I don't have T_T-. Any advice on how to make one out of wood? Arigatogozaimasu, Ja ne, Softypapa-San!!!

    What kind of plant do they generally use to make shimenawa? It looks like a grass of some sort but I wasn't sure.

    What do you call the bell shaped tassels which hang from the Shimenawa and are made of the same material? (Not the Shide paper streamers.)

    Beautiful,what does the zig zag paper signify or is symbolic of? I am very curious about that because it seems to be a powerful Shinto symbol.

      The folded paper is called 'shide' and they create a barrier against evil.

  • @OscelotTheCat
    @OscelotTheCat 12 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    @grangersmith They're shide. They're used for a few things.. primarily on rope, but also some times on tall sticks which the kami inhabit during ceremonies and the kannushi (priest) flutter over the crowd or item, usually for purification.

    • @rmmc99
      @rmmc99 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      When are they most commonly used? The shimenawa and the shide? Is there a festival that they are commonly used for?

    • @OscelotTheCat
      @OscelotTheCat 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @@rmmc99 Shimenawa are used for purification whenever service requires it, assuming you aren't doing oharae in the river. Shide are used to denote a sacred space and create a barrier much like a wiccan circle would. Thus you'll see them meshed in to rope placed around trees and at the entrances to shrines, as well as to create a sacred space to work within when a service is held off of temple grounds, or as an extra layer of protection around various sacred items.

      That’s a very good question. In fact, my wife’s uncle is a Rice farmer and he is able to use his own leftover rice straw. I imagine that people in the community that do not have their own straw can simply get some from their local neighborhood farmers. I’m sorry it took me so long to respond. Have a wonderful day! :-)

    Shimenawa expresses a cloud thunderstorm
    It expresses thanks naturally
    A yokozuna of the sumo is the same, too
    SAGARI of the sumo wrestler expresses rain.
    Sumo is an event of the harvest festivals in old days.

    You learned Japanese from a book, didn't you? A bad one at that. すごい!きれいです!is two exclamations, and means "Wow! It's pretty!" すごくてきれいです! means "It is amazing and pretty" or "It is pretty because it is amazing."
    If you spoke Japanese, you would see why your suggestion is stupid and clumsy. Protip: amateurs shouldn't try to correct fluent speakers.

  • @GrayAu
    @GrayAu 11 ปีที่แล้ว

    1. You did say you were fluent because I attempted to correct you and you said not to correct fluent speakers. Come on, bro.
    2. Getting under my skin? Frankly I feel no annoyance b/c I'm the same kind of person you are, you troll. However you apparently are new to the internet b/c none of us admit to those things.
    3. Hypocrites are the worst kind of people, but you responding to me means I was under your skin first (madbro?) so you are one as well.
    4. Fluency is speaking, not writing.
