Item description - YO07010172 Kannushi, Japanese Stone Shinto Priest Statue - A Kannushi is a Shinto priest in Japan. The term "Kannushi" translates to "master of the gods". Kannushi play a crucial role in Shinto rituals, ceremonies, and maintaining the shrines. They act as intermediaries between the Kami (Shinto deities or spirits) and worshippers.

Stone statues of Shinto Kannushi can be found in and around Shinto shrines in Japan. These statues serve various purposes, including decorative and symbolic roles. They are often placed in specific locations within the shrine grounds, contributing to the sacred atmosphere and reflecting the cultural and religious significance of the priesthood.

The design and style of these statues can vary, but they typically depict a Shinto priest in traditional attire, which includes a distinctive hat called Tokin, a white robe called Joe, and sacred implements like the Shaku (a ritual baton) and the Tamagushi (a sacred sakaki tree branch). The statues contribute to the visual and symbolic elements of Shinto shrines, creating an environment that encourages reflection, prayer, and a sense of connection to the divine. The cultural significance extends beyond religious practices, with Shinto being an essential aspect of Japans cultural heritage.

The characters Kanai Anzen (家内安全) are inscribed on the front of this specific statue, signifying the safety and well-being of ones family, and peace and prosperity in the household.
