…There are many examples of using strings in connection with faith. In Shinto, it is said that one can hear the voice of the gods and receive their protection by pulling the hanging string in front of the worship hall to ring the sacred bell, or by pulling the rope of a float, and this serves to connect people with gods.

In the world of Buddhism, it is said that in order to save humans from this world (the secular world) to the world of Buddha (the pure world), one must grab the rope that is lowered from the pure world, and according to the Eiga Monogatari, Fujiwara no Michinaga was holding a five-colored thread that was threaded through the hands of Amida Buddha when he was on his deathbed. … *Some of the terminology used in reference to the "Onbashira Tokizuna" is listed below.
