-Record of the Offering Ceremony-Ⅱ― Vol. 3 (Patreon)

(Kokorokudashi)During the training period preceding the dedication festival, the rectum of the mikoshi bearer was filled with agar (tokoroten), and by repeatedly expelling it, it was believed that impurities from the internal organs could be cleansed.Although no records of the preparation method remain, the agar used for this purpose was apparently harder than the edible variety of the time and difficult to break down by digestive or intestinal fluids.-------------------------------------------------【Announcement】Thank you for your continued support!The next posting will also be in a couple of weeks.Thank you for your understanding.-------------------------------------------------奉納祭の記録-弐 ―vol.3（腑下し：ココロクダシ）奉納祭より前の鍛え期間、ミコシ役の直腸に天草（トコロテン）を充填し、それを繰り返し排泄させることで臓腑穢れを祓うとされた製法の記録が残っていないが、これに用いられる天草は当時の食用のものよりも固く、消化液や腸液では分解されにくいものであったらしい-------------------------------------------------【告知】いつもご支援をありがとうございます！次回投稿も、2～3週間後の予定です。どうぞよろしくおねがいいたします＞＜
