In ancient times when important matters in connection with the politics of state or choosing of successors were decided, there were cases when lots were drawn to determine the intention of the Gods and this is said to be the origin of the modern day mikuji. |
古代においては国家の政治に関する重要な事項や後継者を選ぶ際に神の意志を占うために籤引きをすることがあり、これが現在の神籤の起源とされている。 |
