dc.description.abstract | This research aims to analyze the forms of shimenawa in Shinto shrines and
Nonomiya shrines and the meanings contained therein. In the discussion, the
author describes the shimenawa found at Shinto shrines based on shape, material,
position, place and color. The method used in this research is a descriptive method
which describes an event as it is by means of preparation, namely collecting,
compiling, classifying, reviewing and interpreting data based on research data. In
collecting data, the author uses library research in the form of journals, books and
also credible internet sources based on the accuracy of the data by matching one
source with another. The results show that the shimenawa on the jinja is a form of
the sanctity of the kami that must be preserved through its installation in all
places. The installation of shimenawa on haiden and setsumatsusha at Nonomiya
Shrine shows a just action because it does not discriminate against the sanctity of
the kami whether the main kami or not. The use of shimenawa in Nonomiya
Shrine is also a form of the Shrine's protection given to saiou who are undergoing
self-purification, so that saiou are not easily tainted by kegare. | en_US |
