TELL ME WHAT HISTORY AND INFORMATION YOU KNOW ABOUT SHINSEI SEINARU MONASTERY:
I, unfortunately, don't know much about the Shinsei Seinaru Monastery, but I do know some, for example, what years and what religion is practiced there, which is Ryobu Shinto. Which is a combination of Buddhism and Shintoism.
TELL US ABOUT YOURSELF:
Akio Yomomura is a happy-go-lucky young adult, he is usually more of an upbeat person to be around. He has a bright aura wherever he goes and usually carries a smile with it. He is usually happy and all of that, seeming to bring people's moods up when they’re feeling down, he is overall just a really good person to be around. Akio is of Japanese descent, more specifically the Tsugaru area, he is somewhat skinny and quite short, standing at a solid five foot and six inches, he has a single small scar on the back of his left hand from when he fell down the stairs at the age of eighteen, he had semi-long black hair, which always seemed to be unkempt.
LETTER TO THE MONASTERY LEAD:
Dear Kannushi,
This is a written letter to work at the Shinsei Seinaru Monastery of Karakura. I would really like to work here because it seems like a great place to work! And as I have previously stated within this application, I have to continue my work as a Priest for my father and mother's sake, and I believe this would be a great place for me to work and fit in with the other Priests and Maidens!
Sincerely, Akio Yokomura
Knowledge Section
What are the steps before entering the shrine?
Akio would very obviously cleanse before entering the shrine, which is done by pouring a small amount of water in each of his hands, before putting some water in his mouth, then spitting it back out. Before he would approach the gate and bow to the Torii, giving it respect and asking for permission to enter the grounds.
How are rituals to a Kami performed?
Akio would bow twice to greet the Kami before Akio would clap at times for appreciation to the Kami before you would begin your prayer.
What is the job of a Shinto Priest and Maiden?
Shinto Priests mainly focus on rituals around the shrine, such as banishing and all of that. As well as taking care of the shrine alongside the Maidens.
Someone wishes to receive a rite of passage for their child, how do you proceed?:
Akio would check with the parents to bring the child back on the 31st after their birth if it was a female, if it was a male the parents would have to return on the 33rd.
Someone comes to the shrine and asks for information about Shintoism, what can you respond to them with using your own knowledge about the religion?:
Akio would first begin with the basic knowledge of the shrine, giving them the history and story behind the shrine, before explaining why you are meant to be respectful while on the grounds, as well as giving background on Shintoism as a whole. Before going over the traditions and beliefs, explaining why it's important to follow them
What is the name of the Kami that resides at the Monastery?
The Yama-no-Kami resides at the Monastery.
