Obujekuto - "object" in Japanese
Japanese religions use a large, sanctified object to "purify" themselves with liberal amounts of sake.
During Japanese religious festivals, there is usually some form of supernatural power that is invoked, as in the use of sorcery, witchcraft, and curse.
Many shrines are used during religious festivals.
They also use salt as a purification method.
