Oshinmei-sama - Oshinmei-sama

Japanese: オシンメイ様 - おしんめいさま
Oshinmei-sama - Oshinmei-sama

...The heads of two figures, a man and a woman, or a horse, are carved or inked on the tops of mulberry trees or other trees, dressed in a costume called Osendaku in a wrapped or pierced style, and enshrined in a Shinto altar inside a house. These are called Oshira-sama or Oshira-botoke. Oshinmei-sama in Fukushima Prefecture and Okunai-sama in Iwate and Yamagata Prefectures are probably of the same lineage. They are often enshrined in old pioneering village homes, but may also be owned by religious figures such as Itako.
