At that time, "Shinryu" (Divine Dragon) was given as a good luck charm to ward off epidemics from the shrine. The origin dates back to the Hoei era in the mid-Edo period, when an epidemic spread in Edo. It is said that those who had a straw snake did not get sick, so the snake is shaped with its tongue sticking out, wrapped around a branch, and is called "Shinryu". There was a custom of hanging it near the kitchen sink and enshrining it. It was adopted for the New Year's stamp in Showa 40. This work is almost 40 years old, but it is still distributed in small quantities during the grand festival in the same form. This is an item from a collection being organized. ■Condition: It has been stored in a box, so the main body remains undamaged, but the materials are straw and cedar leaves, so they have faded. Please understand that there may be some stains and damage to the materials due to aging, as it is an old item. ■Remarks: Please make your order after judging from the photos and understanding that it is a used item.
