⚫️YAKU-YOKE「厄除け」 -Purification for avoiding deseases. problems, and injures
YAKU-YOKE is basically based on religious purification rituals, especially Buddhism, in Japan.
Ancient Japanese people somehow had grasped the ages of YAKU – deseases, illnesses, strange troubles, mystical experiences, and life changes- and tried to avoid or to improve the situations better by being purified in temples and living mindfully during the YAKU periods clenching OMAMORI charms in their hands (lol).
Scientifically, I think, YAKU is logical and rational because the ages transform our bodies and minds owing such conditions.
