Prayer to Kami-Dana (Japanese)

PRAYER TO KAMI-DANA

(Japanese)

REVERENTLY adoring the great god of the two palaces of Ise, .............................. and the gods of the branch temples and branch palaces, and Sohodo no kami, whom I have invited to the shrine set upon this divine altar, and to whom I offer praises day by day.

I pray with awe that they will deign to correct the unwitting faults, which, heard and seen by them, I have committed, and blessing and favoring me according to the powers which they severally wield, cause me to follow the divine example and to perform good works in the Way.

(The House God)
