- Description: A Mikoshi is a “portable shrine”, that is believed to be able to house a deity while it is being moved from one shrine, to a temporary shrine for ceremonial purposes. It is shaped like a buliding, with pillars and a roof, and often covered in gold leaflet and other decorations. It is carried on four poles that are placed atop people’s shoulders. A large group of people is needed to carry the Mikoshi, as it is very heavy. The transportation of the Mikoshi from its original shrine, to the temporary shrine for a ceremony, and back make up the Mikoshi festival.
