Forgiveness - forgiveness

Japanese: 許物 - ゆるしもの

This refers to the arts and martial arts that are approved for transmission. The arts that are approved for transmission are characterized as secret things or secret pieces, and cannot be learned without the permission of the master. These secret things and pieces are called permitted things or permission, but in the tea ceremony they are called denjumono (pronounced "transmitted things"), in Heikyokuji they are called himitsu (secret things), and in Noh and Kyogen they are called shuramono (shun) etc. The pieces and stages of permitted things vary depending on the style or school. The transmission of performing arts has traditionally had the concept of secrecy, and the transmission of arts and crafts is considered to be the impartation of special abilities, so they were characterized as secret techniques, mysteries, secret rituals, secret techniques, secret teachings, and secret pieces, and this became the system of permitted things.

Japanese:

芸能や武道における相伝認可の種目をいう。相伝の種目は秘事，秘曲などの性格をもち，師匠の許しを得なければ習得できない。これらの秘事や秘曲を許物，あるいは許しと呼ぶが，茶道では伝授物(相伝物)，平曲では秘事，能･狂言では習物(習)などという。許物の曲や段階は流儀や流派によって違いがある。芸能の伝授には，伝統的に秘事観念があり，技芸の相伝は特殊能力の分与と考えることから，極意，奥義，秘儀，秘技，秘伝，秘曲などという性格が生じ，これが許物の制度となった。
