They have a wide lineup of skincare products with prayer as their theme that use both Izumo Wakan and hot spring water in their ingredients. The products use no mineral oils, antiseptics, artificial colorants, or paraben, created only using plants registered within the Izumo Fudoki (Description of the culture, climate, etc. of the Izumo Province) as well as spring water from Tamatsukuri Onsen and natural ingredients such as sea salt from the waters around the Izumo Taisha Grand Shrine. Not only is the product itself great, but the charming package has been illustrated by Miku Tsuchiya. ■MAKOMO FACE SOAP *"禊 Misogi (Ablutions)"* https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52688010919_85c03ef818_c.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52687216217_a856f8d753_c.jpg The Suzumidono no Matsuri (凉殿祭) held on June 1st in Izumo is commonly known as the Shinto Ritual of Makomo (真菰神事). Sand and Makomo plants (Zizania latifolia) are laid on the path that God goes through, and worshipers take the Makomo home and put in the bathtub to pray for good health. It is said that the purifying effect of Makomo is high enough to purify the water of rice fields and rivers, and it may be because of its high purification power that the shimenawa ropes of the main shrine of Izumo Taisha ares made of Makomo. 【Aroma】 calm and warm image of a satoyama (village and mountain).
