y Saisen z
We offer money to the gods as a token
of our joy and gratitude for the
realization of our wishes or to express our
faith and respect. We call this kind of
moneye Saisenf.
In the old religious festival, we scattered
grains of rice on the ground. With
the development of a monetary economy, we
came to scatter money.
In old times we offered cotton and hemp
cloth which were valuable to us. So by
offering money we express our respect to
the gods with no expectations.
