Divination stick - Zeichiku
|
A tool used in divination. It is used to set up hexagrams in the I Ching. The oldest one is said to have been made from a plant called Medoki, and there were 50 of them in total, with the thin one at the base and the thick one at the end. Nowadays, bamboo sticks, which are easy to obtain, are often used, and ones about 40 cm long are generally used. Source : Academy of Divination School About the Divination Glossary |
