Ohari is a ceremony performed by Shinto priests in Japan. It includes the waving of a branch from a sacred sakaki tree, to which are attached white streamers (the Japanese version of the shaman's medicine fan of feathers or the Hindu yak-tail whisk, all used to sweep through the air and purify an area). This ceremony is performed on cars and new buildings. A version used to soothe a kami (god) that is upset by impurity was called for in 1978 when there was a rash of suicides by residents jumping off roofs in a Tokyo housing complex.

Susanoo?
How is harae related to the removal of Susanoo from Heaven? Shouldn't it be related to the washing of Izanagi's face to wash away the kegare of Yomi? --TsukikoKoizumi (talk) 20:17, 23 June 2017 (UTC)
