🌕中秋の名月🌾〜月読命〜 (ツクヨミノミコト)夜の世界を統治する月の神様。 (ご利益)豊年満作、心願成就など。 ✴︎ Otsukimi is also known as Jugoya (the 15th night); however, the actual date changes every year because it is determined by the traditional Japanese calendar; it typically falls on a full moon night around September 15th. This date corresponds to August 15th of the traditional Japanese calendar. Each offering has a symbolic meaning. Round white dango symbolize the full moon; they are made from rice flour harvested at that time, therefore people offer them to express gratitude for a good harvest. Round shapes are regarded as an auspicious sign. It is believed that people can obtain happiness and health by eating dango. Susuki symbolize Yorishiro, the object where the moon divine spirit resides. There is a saying that hangingused susuki from eaves prevents illness for a year, because people believe that these susuki can ward off evil spirits. ✴︎ 今月もよろしくお願いします🙇‍♀️ いつもコメントありがとうございます😺🙏💕 返信出来なくてすみません🙇‍♀️ 全て拝見しています🐾 ✴︎ Thank you for your comments😸🙏💕 I'm sorry that I couldn't reply. ✴︎ #cat#cats#catsofinstagram#😻 #japaneseculture#harvestmoon #にゃんすたぐらむ#ねこ#ねこ部 #猫#中秋の名月#秋#お月見団子 #お月見#十五夜#月読命#神様 #感謝#猫のいる暮らし#斉藤和義 #カーリングシトーンズ

まるのお家では、今日注連縄は飾りをはずしま〜す。来年も良い年でありますよ〜に。🐶🙏😊 Shimenawa (注連縄 literally "enclosing rope") are lengths of braided rice straw rope used for ritualpurification in the Shinto religion. They can vary in diameter from a few centimetres to several metres, and are often seen festooned with shide. A space bound by shimenawa often indicates a sacred or pure space, such as that of a Shinto shrine. Shimenawa are believed to act as a ward against evil spirits and are often set up at a ground-breaking ceremony before construction begins on a new building. They are often found at Shinto shrines, torii gates, and sacred landmarks. They are also used around yorishiro (objects capable of attracting spirits, hence inhabited by spirits). These notably include certain trees, in which case the inhabiting spirits are called kodama, and cutting down these trees is thought to bring misfortune. A variation of the shimenawa is used in sumo wrestling by yokozuna (grand champions) during their entrance ceremonies to denote their rank. This is because the yokozuna is seen as a living yorishiro (formally shintai), and as such is inhabited by a spirit.
