On June 30th, 2019, we performed the ceremony for Nagoshi-no-Harae in our traditional ritual way that has been passed down from generation to generation through the long history of Shusse Inari Shrine. We read each person’s name and address who sent/handed Hitogata during the ceremony to pray for their purification, good fortune, and happiness, as well as to recharge their spirit for a safe and healthy summer and 2nd half of the year. We pray that you will continue receiving the blessings of the Shusse Inari Spirits. Also participants built then walked through the large Chinowa wreath to pray for good health, safety, and happiness through the second half of the year. Arigato gozaimasu #VeniceLearningGarden for sharing bamboo to this ceremony.
6月30日、アメリカ出世稲荷神社では、「夏越の祓」と｢茅の輪神事」をご奉仕いたしました。人形（ひとがた）をご郵送/手渡しいただいた方は、古来より当神社に受け継がれてきた秘伝の祈祷法にて、お一人ずつご住所とお名前を読み上げて半年間の穢れ（気枯れ）を祓い、夏を元気に過ごせるよう年の後半の無病息災をご祈念いたしました。また、参列者は協力して茅の輪を作成し、次の半年の無病息災を願って茅の輪をくぐりました。日刊サンがリポートを掲載してくださいました！このリンクで確認できます！
