Offer money and 5-yen coin

There are only a few left to leave this year.

After a busy year, many people will go to shrines and other places after a paragraph.

It’s a gift to throw in when visiting a shrine, but you may have been wondering how much to put in.

In the first place, what is a gift?

Generally, it is money to put in a money box with the feeling that “I want your wish to be fulfilled”, but the original meaning is money to dedicate a feeling of gratitude as “thank you” when the previous wish is fulfilled. … apparently … It is said that the Chinese character “Dice” has the meaning of gratitude for the good fortune received from God.

Nowadays, as a matter of course, money is offered as a gift, but it seems that the rice was originally dedicated with the feeling of gratitude for something unusual, something important to the person, or the blessings of the harvest. is. By the way, it is said that the dedication of money as in the present age began in the Muromachi period when money began to be distributed to the world, and it is said that the money box appeared in the Edo period. increase.

Although I understand the meaning of the offering, I still have a strong desire to offer the offering to fulfill my previous prayer when the new year comes. However, there are some concerns about how much to put in. In such a case, it is a good idea to dedicate the amount using the pun.

May there be a “5 yen” (edge)

May there be “15 yen” (sufficient edge)

“20 yen” 4 sheets of 5 yen (good edge)

May there be a double edge at “25 yen”

In this way, the five-yen coin is full of auspicious charm.

When visiting a shrine and praying, I feel grateful that I was able to spend the last year in good health and happiness without being particular about the amount of money offered, and that I came to worship again. By putting in a lot of money, I feel that I can feel calm and bring about various good relationships and fulfillment of prayers.

Today is the last update of the year.
