| 説明 | Japanese folk religion is full of ways to spend your hard-earned cash. At Shinto shrines you can try to toss coins up onto the sacred rice straw rope, and at Tokoji people tossed coins up onto these torii gates. For "good luck," of course. I did it too. By the way, guidebooks and the dictates of "state Shinto" will tell you that torii gates are found at Shinto shrines only, but actually they are found, not only at almost all Buddhist temples, but also at random non-sectarian holy spots like graveyards. Another funny example of Japanese syncreticism is that old sake bottles are piled up at Buddhist temples. Sake brewing is an example of nature magic and thus sacred to Shinto; sake brewers still start their process with a rice straw rope and some clapping to wake the spirits up. Drinking, of course, is forbidden to Buddhists, but the practice of offering old sake bottles to the local holy place takes no notice of this. |
