This is a handmade item. It is a [Ōnusa], a Shinto ritual implement, which Shinto priests wave over worshippers during prayers and purification rituals at shrines. Sizes available are large, medium, and small. This is the large size. The length of the large size is approximately 92 centimeters. The Ōnusa is made of wood and paper. The jagged paper shape represents lightning. Gods descend to earth with thunder. The light and sound of lightning have a purifying effect. This Ōnusa embodies that. The color white is a fundamental color in Shintoism. Like gohei (folded paper streamers), it is also enshrined as a sacred object. Please enshrine this Ōnusa in your home's kamidana (Shinto altar) or next to the ofuda (votive tablets) of the temples and shrines you believe in. #Kamidana #Purification #Spiritual #spiritual #Shinto #Shrine #Shingu (Shinto implements) #Prayer #Temple #ShrinesAndTemples #Religion #Gohei #God #Gods #Amulet #EvilWard #JapaneseSouvenir #japan #japanese #interior #shrine #Ornament #Interior #Art #Object #Cosplay #Shinkan (Shinto priest) #Japan #Art #Art #Wamono (Japanese items) #TraditionalCulture #TraditionalCrafts #Wa (Japanese) #PaperCraft #PaperDoll #PaperProducts #paper #toy #Toy #Shugendo #Gyōja (ascetic) #JapaneseDance #Onmyoji (diviner) #Onmyodo (divination) #Drama #Stage #Play #EvilSpiritRepelling #LivingSpiritRepelling #CultureFestival #DramaClub #StageProps #Props #Kojiki (Record of Ancient Matters) #Kagura (sacred music and dance) #Miko (shrine maiden) #Worship #Kannon (Goddess of Mercy) #FudoMyoo (wisdom king) #Ryujin (dragon god) #AmaterasuOmikami (sun goddess) #Susanoo (god of storms) #Ashura (wrathful god) #IseJingu (Ise Grand Shrine)
