Section titled “Layer 1: Yoshikawa Jichinsai / Takuchinsai Ritual Texts”

A 2024 study specifically examines the Yoshikawa-family ritual texts for:

  • jichinsai (ground pacification);
  • takuchinsai (house/dwelling pacification).

This moves Japanese “ground-breaking purification” away from vague modern shrine descriptions and into early-modern Onmyōdō local practice.

  • ground deity names;
  • directional beings;
  • temporary altar;
  • offerings;
  • text of saimon;
  • calendrical timing;
  • boundary actions;
  • burial/deposition of ritual objects if present;
  • closing.
