Makigari - Makigari

Japanese: 巻狩 - まきがり

A large-scale hunting method in which a large number of people surround a hunting ground, cornering and shooting animals. As the Makigari ritual remains at Suwa Shrine in Nagano Prefecture and Aso Shrine in Kumamoto Prefecture, it is believed to have originally been a religious ceremony to inquire into the will of the mountain god. In the Middle Ages, it was also held as military training for samurai, and the Makigari at Fuji held by Minamoto no Yoritomo in 1193 became famous as the revenge for the Soga brothers.

Japanese:

狩場を多人数で包囲し，獣を中に追い詰めて射取る大規模な狩猟法。長野県諏訪神社や熊本県阿蘇神社には祭儀としての巻狩が残るので，本来は山の神の意思をうかがうための神事であったとみられている。中世には武士の軍事訓練を兼ねて行われ，1193年源頼朝の行った富士の巻狩は，曾我兄弟の仇討で有名となった。
