Shimenawa
The entrance to the Japanese shrine of Kumano-jinja, with a curtain and the thickly plaited sacred rope (shimenawa) made of rice straw. All Shinto shrines have this rope to demarcate the sacred ground and exclude evil spirits. Meaning 'The Way of the Gods', Shinto is an animist folk religion.
