Toshu-san, have you ever seen miko(shrine meidens) performing a dance at 御神楽(mikagura=sacred music and dancing performed at shrines) at the shrine? |

Yes, I have!! |

Do you remember what miko had in their hands? |

If I remember correctly, they seemed to have osakaki(species of evergreen sacred to Shinto, Cleyera japonica) |
![]() |
How about something to make sounds? |

Oh, some miko had bells. |
