characterization, etc.) – Best fitted to its purpose.

What do these images have in common?�Would you / do you worship any of these?

Shinto Practices • Attend the shrine • Adhere to rules of purity • Maintain a kami-dana for your ancestors

Kami-dana

Shrine etiquette

•  1. Go to the chozuya (pavilion for ritual washing of hands and mouth). Dip water using right hand and pour it over left; then reverse.

• 2. After washing, shift dipper to right hand, pour water into left palm, rinse mouth, and quietly spit out the water

•  3. Hold dipper handle upright in both hands; rinse it with remaining water to purify it. Return dipper to its original position.

•  4. Stop in front of the sanctuary, bow lightly, then approach. As on the stone walk, avoid the center of the path to show modesty.

• 5. Being aware that you are now standing close to the deity, ring the bell. It's like a doorbell to call the deity's attention.

•  6. Quietly toss any amount of money you wish into the offertory box. The amount does not matter if offered in sincere gratitude.

•  7. Bow twice, clap hands twice, and bow once. The first bows are deep and formal (90 degrees), showing respect toward the deity.

•  8. Join palms in front of chest. Shift right hand downward; clap to attract the deity and purify with otodama (spirit present in sound).

•  9. Return the right hand to original position and join palms together in prayer. If you want to make a wish, do so in silence.

•  10. Make one 90-degree bow. Move back three steps, make a light bow, and withdraw. Do not show your backside to the deity.
