| When making a fire using charcoal, a Shibu-uchiwa (fan coated with persimmon tannin) or a Hifuki-dake (bamboo blowpipe used to stimulate a fire) will be perfect rather than a Sensu, but when making a holy fire at temples and shrines in Naritasan, it is observed for people to stimulate the fire by waving a unfolded Sensu back and forth. |
炭火をおこす場合に扇ぐ用途には向いていない、渋うちわか火吹き竹が妥当であろう、成田山等の寺社で護摩を焚く場合には、点火後、扇子を広げて火を扇ぐ所作が見られる。 |
