Shinto Offering List
Reading this article, I was interested to learn that one of the things given to 'recharge' a female deity in the Muromachi era was hair extensions. The clothing listed as part of the sacred treasure collection and even the toiletry kit were not a big shock for me. These seem rather like every day items for someone of rank.
As it turns out, even an Okami may have difficulty growing out her hair to the fashionable length of SCA period Japan, so some thoughtful worshiper was sure to gift her with some help.
People wondered why I started looking into Shinto as soon as I considered Japanese costuming, and this just goes to show that I had the right ideal.
