1. The differences between witches in the shrine: Platycodon grandiflorum in the Japanese anime Inuyasha, Lee Kono in the Pretty Girl Warrior and San Ye in Your Name are all witches in the shrine. And whether in anime or when we go to a shrine in Japan, we will see some young women in white clothes and red skirts passing by us. In fact, the witch profession is not a new profession, but has a long history. There are two kinds of witches in Japanese shrines, one is a professional witch and the other is an auxiliary witch (temporary worker). Official positions are held by hereditary or relatives.
Second, the responsibilities of the shrine witch Every morning, after the witch arrives at the shrine, she will put on her costume and start cleaning. After cleaning, she will open the palace door to welcome visitors. In addition to these, they are also responsible for the sales of items in the shrine, such as guardian, broken Maya, special food and other items that are usually common. In the evening, they will count the incense money and end the day's work. If there are important festivals or festivals, they will also dance traditional witch dances and pray for the protection of the gods. But it is not easy to be a good witch, because they have strict requirements, such as no heavy makeup, no long hair, no accessories and so on.
In order to adapt to the changing trend, many shrines are also open to the public? Witch experience? Tourism projects. Here, everyone can wear a witch's costume, learn the etiquette of paying homage under the leadership of a formal professional witch, as well as some of the usual work of witches, and sometimes learn some very simple witch dances. However, everyone should be careful not to talk loudly here, and pay attention to the solemnity of words and deeds. Now, the witch experience has become an important tourism project, which can let people know more about Japanese shrine culture.
