[The origin of the Chino-wa (reed ring)] Long ago, when Mutō Tenjin was traveling, he asked the Shōrai brothers for lodging for the night. The younger brother, Kotan Shōrai, was wealthy but turned him away, while the older brother, Somin Shōrai, was poor but kindly welcomed him. Several years later, Tenjin came to express his gratitude and said, "I am Susanoo-no-Mikoto." If an epidemic breaks out, say you are a descendant of Somin Shōrai and wear a ring of reeds around your waist. He declared, "You will be spared from disaster." Thanks to this, only Somin Shōrai's family survived. Since then, it has been said that wearing a straw ring can protect one from disease. 【size】 Total length: 19cm Strap: 13.5cm Amulet dimensions: Height: 5.5cm Charm body: Width: 4cm Prayers have been offered at the shrine.
