Yamabushi

Yamabushi (山伏, one who prostrates oneself on the mountain) are Japanese mountain ascetic hermits.[1] They are generally part of the syncretic shugendō religion, which includes Tantric Buddhism and Shinto.[2]

Their origins can be traced back to the solitary Yama-bito and some hijiri (聖) (saints or holy persons) of the eighth and ninth centuries.[3]

According to American writer Frederik L. Schodt:

These positively medieval-looking nature worshipers carry metal staves and conch shells and wear straw sandals and sometimes a hemp cloth over-robe with the Heart Sutra written on it. They follow a mixture of esoteric or tantric Buddhism mixed with Shinto, the native animistic religion of Japan.[4]

Clothing and items

Appearance of the Yamabushi. They wear yuigesa, kyahan, and tokin. They hold a shakujō in their hands, and blow the horagai to prevent evil spirits.

The Yamabushi usually wear and bring the following clothes and items with them:[5][6][7]

  • Yuigesa (結袈裟), a harness or sash adorned with pom-poms
  • Kyahan (脚絆), sandals made from straw
  • Tokin (頭巾) which is a small hat-like adornment worn at the front of the head
  • Shakujō (錫杖), a metal rod, held in their hands
  • Oi (笈), backpack
  • Horagai (法螺貝), a conch shell, which they blow like a horn to bind evil spirits
