Overview of the Exhibition Since ancient times, Japanese have believed that God dwells in various things such as land, trees, and architecture, and by offering "prayers" when modifying people there, have calmed the hearts of the gods and prayed for safety. . In the construction work, various ceremonies are held from ground-breaking ceremony to the completion ceremony. There is still a rich relationship between nature and architecture, which is being lost in modern society. What kind of prayers have the Japanese put into the architectural rituals and shaped them? We will understand the meaning of the remaining literature painting materials and ritual tools.

[80] Architectural rituals and Bansho scrolls in the Okuaizu region

In the deep mountains of Okuaizu, Fukushima Prefecture, when building a house, unique architectural rituals such as Ishikiri, the god of firebushi, and board circumference were performed. In addition, the master of the area (carpenter) is a disciple of the teacher, and if he is recognized as a single person, he will be taught scrolls. The transmission of scrolls has been continued from the 18th century to this day. The scroll contains the history of carpenter tools, main deity, and a curse song that is chanted there by rituals. In this seminar, we will introduce the architectural rituals and bansho scrolls of the Okuaizu region.
