The Summons of the God, is an archetype of magic sound. In Shinto the chief shrine guardian, kannushi, opens the ceremony with a long, trailing call on the vowel O… , the voice ascending and increasing, descending and decreasing; so he compels the deity to appear and to remain present for the duration of the ceremony. Immediately after keihitsu the kannushi draws back the protecting curtain from the inner sanctuary. Recorded on May 30, 1955, in the Onoteruzaki-jinja, Tokyo | ||
