On April 18, the Hozorai Festival and horse-running ceremony take place, marking the end of the Shinto ritual that began on April 3. During the Hozorai Festival, the Shinto priest announces the results of the year's bountiful rice varieties and decorates the main shrine with three types of rice - Wase, Nakate, and Okute - that have been dedicated by neighboring farmers. In the past, some people received the dedicated rice paddy and sowed it in the nurseries of their own rice fields. The horse-running ceremony that follows is intended to boost the economy. Shinto priests dressed in costumes of military officers of the imperial court ride several horses and make three round trips from the Otabisho (Tenso-jinja Shrine) to the front of the main shrine. The priest must complete the race without falling off the horse to ensure a bountiful harvest. However, if the horse jumps or falls, it is believed that the harvest will be poor
. During the Edo period, ten horses ran, and there were representations of the Himeji lords and horse presentations. Nowadays, only three horses run. Together with the rice planting festival, the Hozorai Festival and horse-running ceremony is the largest festival of the shrine, and it is said that the number of worshipers exceeded 100,000 before the war.
Nagoshi Oharae and Chinowa Ritual ( June 30 )
 This is a Shinto ritual that serves to purify oneself of impurities from the first half of the year. It involves walking through a chinowa, which is a 2-meter-diameter circle made of grasses or other materials, that is set up in the shrine precincts.

Traffic access

Train 

 Get off at Nosato Station on the Bantan Line .

Bus 

 From Himeji Station, take the Shinki Bus 4 or 6 bound for "Hiromine" and get off at "Hiromine", then walk for 40 minutes. However, the 4th line only runs in the morning and evening, and the 6th line runs every two hours during the day, so it's best to take any of the lines that frequently pass through the south, get off at Shirakuni Minamiguchi, and walk about 1km to the Hiromine bus stop. .
 Routes other than those bound for Hiromine, which pass through the Shirakuni South Exit, are the 3 and 5 lines bound for Daijudai/ Himeji Dokkyo University, the 81 line bound for Enbuna Danchi/Hojo Sales Office, and the 82 line bound for Kohokke Park. Line 84, 86 "Fukusaki Ekimae" line.

The , used to be a government agency in Japan. It was part of the Ministry of the Interior's foreign bureau. The institute's main goal was to make Shintoism more respected in the Empire of Japan. It was responsible for managing shrines and was the center of Shintoism until the end of World War II.

During the early years of the Showa era, there was a revival movement of the Department of Divinities and a push to establish special divine offices in Japan. In 1940, on the occasion of the 2600th anniversary of the accession of Jimmu, the Institue of Divinities was created. 

Six years later, after Japan's defeat in World War II, the Supreme Commander for the Allied Powers (GHQ) issued the Shinto Directive, which led to the termination of the movement on January 31, 1946. As a result, the special office was abolished on the same day.

Establishment of the Institute of Divinities
According to the Government Regulations of the Institute of Shinto Religion (Imperial Ordinance No. 736 of 1940), the Bureau of Shrines of the Home Ministry was given a higher status and became an external bureau of the Ministry on November 9, 1940. The bureau is situated at 1-2, Kasumigaseki, Kojimachi-ku, Tokyo, which is also the location of the Ministry of Home Affairs Office Building.

The president of the Bureau of Shrines was appointed by the Minister of Home Affairs. Eiji Yasui, who was the Minister of Home Affairs at that time, was the first president. The Vice President of the bureau was Ichisho Inuma, who was also the Director General of the Bureau of Shrines. Inuma served in this position until the JCG was abolished.

To manage various matters related to shrines, various organizations were established by the Institute.
Shinto Directive and Abolition of the Institute of Divinities 
After the end of WWII the GHQ issued a memorandum to the government on December 15, 1945, called "Regarding the Abolition of the Government's Guarantee, Support, Preservation, Supervision, and Supervision of National Shinto and Shinto Shrines and the Abolition of Kobu" (SCAPIN-448). This memorandum led to the abolition of the Institute of Divinities.

The Institute of Divinities was abolished on January 31, 1946, in accordance with the Imperial Ordinance No. 59 of 1946, which concerned the revision of government regulations for administrative reorganization..

Philosophy
(アシナヅチ・テナヅチ) is a pair of Japanese deities

In ancient Japanese stories called the Kojiki and the Nihon Shoki, there was a god named Susanoo who was sent away from his home in the heavens to live on Earth in a place called Izumo. There, he met an old couple named  who were children of a mountain god called Ōyamatsumi. They told him about a scary monster called Yamata no Orochi, which had eaten seven of their eight daughters. Susanoo offered to kill the monster if they would give him their only surviving daughter, Kushinadahime, to be his wife.

Susano'o defeated Orochi and built a palace in the land of Suwa Province. He then appointed Ashinazuchi as the leader of the palace and gave him the name Inada no Miyatsuko Suga no Yatsunomimi no Kami (稲田宮使諏訪之八意名神)

Very often there's a way to directly respond, like a toll-free telephone number, or website, where the items can be ordered. Informercials are designd to produce a direct response, that can be measured.  They are often pre-recorded. They are shown when there are few people watching television, for example during the night.

Properties 
Informewrcials usually have the following properties:
They are relatively short, common lengths are 15 or 30 minutes
 They say that the own product either has unique features, or is much better than the competition. When the own product is compared, the other products are often shown in a very negative way.
 Very often testimonials are used. These are statements of people who bought the product, and who tell how happy they are with it.
 They show people using the product. 
 In order to make people bbuy the product right away, there are deals where they will get some extras for free.

De Mulieribus Claris or De Claris Mulieribus (Latin for "On Famous Women") is a book by Giovanni Boccaccio, from Florence. Bocaccio started to write it  in 1361 and 1362, in Latin. In the book, he writes biographies of "famous women". Boccacio wrote the book in Latin prose. He seems to have made several changes, until his death in 1375. It was first published in 1374. It tells 106 short biographies of historically important women. Some of these women really existed, others are mythical. About a century later, in 1473/74 it was translated into German as Von den synnrychen erluchten wyben. Other translations into German were made 1479 and 1488. In 1483 a French translation was made, a Spanish one in 1484.   Donato Albanzani translated it into Italian in  1397. The first translation into English is in the Canterbury Tales, the biography of Zenobia is part of The Monk's tale. As there are many prints and translations from the 14th to the 16th century, the book was probably popular
. Bocaccio calls it The first book that is exclusively about women. At the same time Boccauio also wrote a  collection of biographies of famous men, De Casibus Virorum Illustrium (On the Fates of Famous Men).
When Boccaccio selected the women to write about, he wanted those that could serve as an example, also from a Christian and ethical point of view. For some women, he re-used some of the content of his other book De casibus virorum illustrium that he had written  earlier.  

The book is notable, because is is the first collection of  biographies of women in post-ancient Western literature.

The Incomplete scripture of Manichaeism was discovered by British archaeologist Aurel Stein in Mogao Caves. It is a Manichaean scripture, but it is missing parts. It is one of the three Manichaeism Dunhuang Chinese Documents. They are now held in the collection of National Library of China, number BD00256.

Overview
Overview 

Luo Zhenyu didn't know which Persian religion the scriptures belonged to in 1911. He decided to publish the recorded text in the second volume of the "Guoxue Series". He named it "Incomplete Persian Scripture". In the same year, French Sinologists Shawan and Perch translated the scripture into French. They considered it as Manichaean scripture. The manuscript is on scrolls and has an incomplete beginning. It currently has 345 lines and about 7,000 characters. It is the only Chinese Manichean classic in China. The writing is similar to a scripture. The content uses a question and answer format between the leader Mani and the apostle Mar Adda. It explains Manichaeism's doctrine of the coexistence of light and dark..

A  is a special kind of altar used in Shinto religion to remember and honor family members who have died. The altar usually has a mirror or tablet with the names of the deceased and is also used to honor people who are not related but are respected.

Mitamaya altars are not as commonly found in Japanese households as their Buddhist counterpart, the butsudan, because Buddhist funeral rites are more commonly practiced in Japan. Mitamaya altars are considered less valuable than kamidana altars, which are highly respected in Japanese culture.

Ritual 
The mitamaya altar is usually placed in an inner chamber on a shelf called "mitama-san-no-tana," which is attached to the wall at a height of about six feet. It is positioned lower than the kamidana altar..
Rituals are performed for the mitamaya altar every tenth day up to the fiftieth day after the death of the family member. After that, rituals are performed on the one-hundredth day and on the one-year anniversary of the death. After the one-year ritual, another ritual is performed to mark the spirit's joining of the ancestors at the family shrine..

History 
In ancient times, people held domestic rites called kinensai in the February or April and Niinamesai in November. During these rites, people worshiped their ancestors, the god of food, and the hearth deity. They believed the spirits of their ancestors (Oyagami) came to them through the rice.

During the Heian period cults of Goryō developed and people changed to honoring the dead in July for Urabon-e, and in January.
During the medieval period, people started to enshrine the spirits of dead individuals, like Retired Emperor Gotoba (1180-1239) whose memory was kept through memorial tablets. In the early modern period, there was a rise in "Shinto funerals" (shinsōsai) where people were treated like kami. The Yoshida clan gave spirit ranks like Myōjin-gō, Reisha-gō, and Reijin-gō to the dead, who were sometimes worshipped at shrines.

The spread of Kokugaku led to an increased interest in Miyamaya, and more people enshrined their ancestors in their homes.

The first modern mitamaya was constructed in 1599 at the Toyokuni Shrine in Kyoto, Japan for Toyotomi Hideyoshi. Screen paintings and the remains of the shrine suggest that it was designed based on the Kitano Tenman-gū. Unfortunately, it was later destroyed by the Tokugawa clan.
Later on, the mitamaya became a symbol of high status and was mainly established for Japanese nobles, military heroes, and other respected individuals. This practice became more widespread during the Edo period. As part of the Kokugaku movement, it became more common for ordinary households to erect mitamaya altars. These altars played a central role in Shinto funeral rituals known as "shinsōsai" (神葬祭).

The  is a  Japanese book about laws and customs. It was mostly finished in 927.

History 

In 905, Emperor Daigo gave an order for the compilation of the Engishiki. While there were previous attempts at codifying such information, the Konin and the Jogan Gishiki no longer exist, making the Engishiki an essential source for early Japanese historical and religious studies.

The task of revising the Engishiki was initiated by Fujiwara no Tokihira. However, the work was left incomplete when he died four years later in 909. His brother, Fujiwara no Tadahira, continued the task in 912 and was able to complete the revisions in 927..

The Engishiki underwent several revisions, and after these revisions, it served as a basis for reform initiatives that began in 967..

Contents 
The Engishiki is a text that is composed of 50 volumes. These volumes are organized by department. The text contains information on various topics such as worship, state, ministries, and laws.
The first 10 volumes of the Engishiki, which falls under the Department of Divinities, are responsible for regulating various ceremonies, such as the Daijyō-sai and worship at the Ise Grand Shrine and Saikū. It also recorded liturgical texts, listed all the 2,861 Shinto shrines that existed at that time, and identified the 3,131 officially-recognized and enshrined Kami. In 1970, Felicia Gressitt Bock published a two-volume annotated English language translation, titled "Engi-shiki; procedures of the Engi Era," which included an introduction.
 Volumes 11 to 40 belong to the Daijō-kan and Eight Ministries. 
 Volumes 41 to 49 fall under other departments
 Volume 50 contains miscellaneous laws.

The Daijō-kan or Dajō-kan (Japanese: 太政官), also known as the Great Council of State, was the highest decision-making body in Japan's premodern Imperial government under the Ritsuryō legal system during and after the Nara period. It was briefly restored to power after the Meiji Restoration, but soon replaced with the Cabinet.

The Daijō-kan was consolidated in the Taihō Code of 701-702, which codified the Ritsuryō system of government in Japan. The Asuka Kiyomihara Code of 689 also played a role in the development of the Daijō-kan as it marked the initial appearance of this central administrative body, composed of the three ministers: the Daijō-daijin (Chancellor), the Sadaijin (Minister of the Left), and the Udaijin(Minister of the Right).

The Daijō-kan was responsible for all secular administrative affairs of the country and its subsidiary ministries, while the Department of Divinities, oversaw all matters related to Shintō ritual, clergy, and shrines.
However, this structured organization gradually lost power over the course of the 10th and 11th centuries. The Fujiwara clan began to dominate the Daijō-kan as well as the post of Imperial regent. It became common for the regent to hold the post of chancellor or other office simultaneously.

By the 12th century, the council was essentially powerless as a separate entity. However, the system was never formally dismantled. Over the course of centuries, the ritsuryō state produced more and more information which was carefully archived.

But, with the passage of time in the Heian period, ritsuryō institutions evolved into a political and cultural system without feedback.
During the reign of Emperor Kōmei, the aristocracy in Kyoto teamed up with influential provincial leaders to bring back the power and reputation of the Imperial center. But because of many important issues that needed immediate attention, little effort was made to restructure the Daijō-kan, the highest decision-making body of the Imperial government.

Kinensai is a festival that was celebrated every year in ancient Japan on February 4th. It was an important observance of the government. It was held to pray for a good harvest. Emperor Tenmu started the festival in 675 as a rite of the Japanese government. He required all the shrines recorded in the Jinmyochō to perform it.

During the festival, tribute was offered to the gods, and the ceremony was attended by high-ranking officials, but the emperor himself did not participate. In the Heian period, the festival became a mere formality and was celebrated solely within the Department of Divinities, the body responsible for the governance of Shinto affairs by the government.

Later, the festival became more solemn and focused on worshipping Amaterasu Ōmikami, the sun goddess, and during the period of "cloistered emperors", it became a rite performed by the emperor himself to honor Amaterasu. Kinensai eventually became such a sacred ceremony that it would be canceled in case of any pollution at the Ise Shrines.
However, the festival died out at the end of the Muromachi period due to military conflict. It was later revived in an abbreviated, irregular form called sairō by the Shirakawa house, which had inherited the position of head of the Department of Divinities. Kinensai was not reintroduced until the Meiji period in 1869.

It is sometimes contrasted with  or the fall festival.
