About Shinko-shiki

Shinko-shiki (神幸式), also known as Shinko-sai (神幸祭), is a ceremonial practice within Shintoism involving the procession of a kami's shintai, or divine object. The shintai of the Kami is transferred from the primary Shinto shrine to a Mikoshi, a portable shrine, as part of the ritual. Typically, this ceremony occurs within the context of an annual festival hosted by a shrine. The procession is regarded as a means through which the Kami may inspect and validate the boundaries of a particular neighborhood or parish.
