Ohari is a ceremony performed by Shinto priests in Japan. It includes the waving of a branch from a sacred sakaki tree, to which are attached white streamers (the Japanese version of the shaman's medicine fan of feathers or the Hindu yak-tail whisk, all used to sweep through the air and purify an area). This ceremony is performed on cars and new buildings. A version used to soothe a kami (god) that is upset by impurity was called for in 1978 when there was a rash of suicides by residents jumping off roofs in a Tokyo housing complex.
Susanoo?
[edit]How is harae related to the removal of Susanoo from Heaven? Shouldn't it be related to the washing of Izanagi's face to wash away the kegare of Yomi? --TsukikoKoizumi (talk) 20:17, 23 June 2017 (UTC)
