Ikupusuy

Revision as of 02:11, 5 November 2015 by LordAmeth (talk | contribs) (LordAmeth moved page Ikapusuy to Ikupusuy: oops. spelling error.)

Ikapusuy are libation sticks used in traditional Ainu ceremonies.

They are used during prayers or rituals directed to the kamui (spirits). The stick is dipped in a lacquered bowl of liquor, and drops are then dripped into a fire, or onto an inaw prayer stick.
