Since ancient times, the Japanese people practiced Toshikoshi-no-Ōharae, a prayer to purify and rid themselves of the year’s yakunan (illness, accident, injury, fight, misfortune etc.) and kegare, or “withered spirit.” Over the course of the year, the energy of a person’s spirit is diminished by tiredness, stress, and other pressures, so Toshikoshi-no-Ōharae rituals are performed […]

　昔から日本人は、１年の終わりに「年越の大祓（としこしのおおはらえ）」を行ってきました。これは、１年（「夏越の祓」をされた方は半年）の間に気づかないうちに作ってしまった罪や穢（けが）れ、また、病気・事故・怪我・争い、不運などの厄難（やくなん）を祓（はら）い清め、新年を心身共に健康で過ごせるよう祈願するものです。　 　「穢れ」とは「気が枯れる」という意味で、本来持っている「気」がストレスなどで｢枯れて｣（くたびれて）パワーがダウンしている状態のことです。また、このリセット、リチャージにより、開運を呼び込むことができると言われています。年末、お部屋だけでなく、ご自身の「気」も大掃除しませんか？ 　「年越の大祓」は、身代わりとなる人形（ひとがた）を使って、ご自身が溜め込んでいる穢れなどを祓い、気力の復活を図ります。アメリカ出世稲荷神社の人形は、古来より伝わる「十種神宝（とくさのかんだから）」の文字が入ります。 　お申し込みいただいた方のお名前を神主が読み上げ、受け取った人形で当神社に伝わるご祈祷を大晦日に行います。ペット、車両の「年越の大祓」もいたします。 　日本の伝統文化・習慣をぜひご家族で体験ください。 [お申し込みの手順] 人形・形代（こちらからダウンロードください）に名前、年齢（数え年）、住所を記入します。 祓ってほしいことを念じ、体の良くなって欲しい部分を、願い事を唱えながら人形・形代でさすります。肩こりが治って欲しい場合は、「肩こりが治りますように」と言いながら人形で肩をさすります。頭が良くなって欲しい人は、「頭が良くなりますように」と言いながら人形で頭をさすります。良くなって欲しい部分が複数でも構いません。車両の場合は、交通安全など祓ってほしいこと、祈願を念じ、形代でハンドルをさすります。 人形・形代に息を吹きかけます。ペットの場合は飼い主が代行しても構いません。 こちらの申し込みフォームに記入し、フォーム内のリンク、またはチェックで御玉串料（ご祈祷料）を納めます。 人形を12月28日必着で郵送します。 　　 郵送先 Shinto Shrine of Shusse Inari in America  （社務所）               9854 National Blvd., #284, Los Angeles, CA 90034
