| Also
called chinjisai ΑnΥ; jisai nΥ, jiiwai nj, tsuchi
matsuri yΥ or kotoshizume matsuri. The ceremony performed before
the groundbreaking of a new building. In the Edo period, the ceremony was
the reponsibility of the carpenters. But today, it is performed by Shinto
priests who pray for the safety of the workmen and to appease the gods who
may be disturbed by the construction. Bamboo branches, joined by sacred
rope, shimenawa Aκ, are placed at each of the four sides of the
building site. A special evergreen branch, *himorogi
_βί, surrounded by a simple enclosure, is placed on a stand with eight legs
beneath which coarse straw is spread. This arrangement faces south. |
