...Rice offered to gods or Buddhas when visiting them, or scattered for the purpose of purification or exorcism. It is called sango (scattered offering), osago (scattered offering), uchimaki (scattered offering), etc., and rice wrapped in white paper with one end twisted is also called ohineri, so originally it meant rice offered to gods, but it came to be scattered to exorcise demons and evil spirits with the spiritual power of the rice. For example, a note to the prayer for the Otonohogai Festival in the Engishiki states that rice was scattered in the birthing house at the time of birth, purifying the birthing house with the spiritual power of the rice. *Some of the terminology used in reference to "Osankyu" is listed below.

…神や仏に参ったとき供える米,または祓(はらい)や清めの目的でまき散らす米。サンゴ(散供),オサゴ(御散供),ウチマキ(打撒)などといい,白紙に米を包んで一方をひねったものをオヒネリともいうから,もとは神への供え物である米を意味したが,米の霊力によって悪魔や悪霊を祓うためにまき散らすこととなった。たとえば,《延喜式》記載の大殿祭(おおとのほがい)の祝詞の注に,出産にあたって産屋に米をまき散らし,米の霊力によって産屋を清めたことがみえている。… ※「御散供」について言及している用語解説の一部を掲載しています。 出典|株式会社平凡社世界大百科事典 第2版について | 情報 |
