　The "Misogi Shinto ritual" is held once every six months at Miyanaka and shrines on June 30 and December 31. From the first day of the June festival to the Natsukoshino great exorcism ceremony on June 30, Tsukiji Namiki Shrine has a "kayawa" in front of the shrine hall on the grounds of the shrine.

During this period, I pray that I will go through the shrine three times to write "Kayawa" like a letter eight, remove evil, and purify the sins, excesses, and filth of the past six months, pass the summer, and spend a new six months in sound health that should begin in July.

Write your name and age on the paper `` Katashiro '' that imitates the shape of a person, stroke your body, breathe, transfer the sins to `` Katashiro '', put it in a shrine as a substitute, wrap it in a refreshing kaya, and purify it at the Natsukoshino great exorcism style, which is executed on June 30, and purify it on the evening of the same day.
