The Shintai (an object in which a kami is believed to reside) of present-day Shrine Shinto is the 'Yashiro,' including the Honden and Haiden (hall of worship), marked by a shimenawa (sacred rice-straw rope), and the Chinju no Mori is understood to be the forest surrounding it. |
現在の、神社神道(じんじゃしんとう)の神体(しんたい)は本殿や拝殿などの、注連縄の張られた「社」(やしろ)であり、それを囲むものが鎮守の森であると理解されている。 |
