\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tWhen you visit a shrine, you will see a “shimenawa” at the entrance to the approach or in front of the main shrine. The “suzu-o” hanging down from the shimenawa is the “purification stick” that the priest holds in his hand. And the “haraegushi” held by the priests. \nIn the past, hemp was used for all of these items. \n\nToday, hemp has been replaced by nylon and vinyl, but hemp was originally one of the most sacred plants to the Japanese. \n\nWhy was hemp so deeply connected to Shinto rituals? \nThe answer lies in Japan’s ancient religious beliefs, a culture of resonance with nature that could be called “hemp Shinto.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

In ancient Japan, purification was an absolute prerequisite for contact with the gods.
Along with misogi with water and purification with salt, hemp played an important role as a “spiritual plant for purifying the defiled.<\/p>

Shimenawa (sacred rope<\/strong> )
The boundary line between the Shinto realm and this world.
Originally, it was believed that only a hemp rope could maintain the divine boundary. This is because it was believed that the vibrations of hemp would keep away “evil spirits” and “dirt.<\/p>

Suzuo<\/strong> (Suzuo)
A bell that worshippers would ring to call the gods.
The rope was also woven with hemp, with the intention of purifying the body and soul by touching it. It is said that hemp fibers were a conduit connecting the “chi” of the gods and the “chi” of people.<\/p>

Haraegushi ( purification skewer<\/strong> )
A tool for purification called an “onusa” (marijuana).
It was a “vibratory device “** wielded by priests to purify the place and prepare the soul.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tShinto is a uniquely Japanese religious view that finds the divine in nature. \nIn this belief, hemp was treated as a “line leading to the realm of the gods. This is the basis of what is called “hemp Shinto. \n\nHemp is a plant that grows straight and aims for the heavens. \n\nIt grows quickly and is full of vitality. \n\nIts fiber is strong yet flexible, and it is a material that connects people to nature. \n\nIn other words, hemp is a plant that combines both “spirituality” and “practicality,” and was a medium through which humans “tuned in” with nature and the gods. \n\nThis deep belief in hemp is shared by the Ainu culture, the Ryukyuan religion of Okinawa, and even the Jomon culture. \nThe relationship between hemp and the gods was so strong that they could not be separated.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tHowever, this hemp culture disappeared rapidly due to postwar occupation policies.\nUnder the “Marijuana Control Law” enacted by GHQ, hemp was suddenly declared a “dangerous plant” and its cultivation and use were severely restricted.\n\nAs a result, the number of Shinto ritual objects made of hemp at shrines declined and was replaced by man-made materials.\nIt could be interpreted that the “Wi-Fi” connection with God was intentionally severed.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
