SUMMARY:Summer’s Prayers 夏越の祓え　なごしのはらえ
DESCRIPTION:Prayers for a Good Second Half of the Year\nOK, I am having trouble translating the name of this event. Basically it translates as Summer’s Barking, but they pray for the second half of the year to be good. So, Summer’s Prayers it is!\nFrom Heian times there was a tradition of making a grass circle large enough or people to pass through. People who did were saying or chanting a kind of prayer. Successfully doing this three times meant that you would pass through the heat of summer.\nReferences\nIn Japanese\nhttp://www.i-nekko.jp/gyoji/2013-062613.html ( http://www.i-nekko.jp/gyoji/2013-062613.html )\nhttps://kotobank.jp/word/夏越の祓-857369 ( https://kotobank.jp/word/夏越の祓-857369 )\n\n\nItems related to Summer’s Prayers at Amazon Japan\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFor deep cuts of japonica here are items from Rakuten Japan\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nrakuten_design="slide";rakuten_affiliateId="194c1902.4e292998.194c1903.70e7fb9d";rakuten_items="ctsmatch";rakuten_genreId="0";rakuten_size="728x200";rakuten_target="_blank";rakuten_theme="gray";rakuten_border="on";rakuten_auto_mode="off";rakuten_genre_title="off";rakuten_recommend="on";rakuten_ts="1584940527191";\nBuy me a coffee, or two, or three ;-DThanks you for your support!Click Here for PayPal.me\n
