miko
Miko (巫女) is a Japanese Shinto〔Groemer, 28.〕 term indicating a shrine (jinja) maiden〔Aston, 101〕 or a supplementary priestess〔North-China herald, 571〕 who was once likely seen as a shaman〔Picken, 140.〕 but in modern Japanese culture is understood to be an institutionalized〔Groemer, 29.〕 role in daily shrine life, trained to perform tasks, ranging from sacred cleansing〔 to performing the Kagura,〔Hearn, 246〕 a sacred dance.
==Physical description==
The traditional attire of a ''miko'' would be a pair of red hakama (long, divided trousers) or a long, red, slightly pleated skirt tied with a bow, a white haori (kimono jacket), and some white or red hair ribbons. In Shintoism, the color white symbolizes purity.
Traditional Miko tools include azusayumi (梓弓 or “catalpa bow”)〔Fairchild, 76〕 the tamagushi (玉串 or “offertory sakaki-tree branches”)〔Fairchild, 77.〕 and the gehōbako (外法箱 or the “supernatural box that contains dolls, animal and human skulls ... () Shinto prayer beads”).〔Fairchild, 78〕
The miko also use “bells, drums, candles, and bowls of rice”〔Folklore Society, 307〕 in their ceremonies.
