Today,we officially visited the Shinto shrine called "Tarumi-jinnja". And we participated in the monthly ritual called "Tukinamisai" for the first time. As the priest carried out the ritual,we gratefully watched it. At the end,we could hear his speech about the manners in the shrine, God's punishment,the usual mind (for peaple in the society),the purpose of the shrine bell,relationship between form and Godliness,etc. |
