| In the ceremonial site, an eight-legged wooden stand (called hakkyaku-dai) is placed, representing an altar, in the center of which a himorogi (a branch of the evergreen sacred osakaki tree adorned with a gohei (a wooden wand with zigzag paper strips) and yu (wood fiber used to make washi paper), into which the god is invited to descend) is erected. |
祭場の中には木の台（八脚台という）を並べ、その中央に神籬（ひもろぎ、大榊に御幣・木綿を付けた物で、これに神を呼ぶ）を立てて祭壇となす。 |
