Line 1: {{trope}} [[File:~~shide_300px~~shide 300px.jpg\|frame]] ''Shide'' are paper tassels with a zigzag shape, associated with Shinto. They are sometimes seen hanging from ropes, known as ''shimenawa'', found at [[Shrines and Temples\|shrines]] or other sacred places, often trees or boulders. They are also found on ''haraegushi'' / ''ōnusa'' / ''gohei'', wooden rods used in Shinto rituals. A ''gohei'' has two ''shide'', whereas the other types have more than that. Also, some ''gohei'' are handheld (like the other types), whereas other larger ones are stationary standing features of shrines. A rope hung with ''shide'' represents a boundary between the sacred and profane. When hung from a wooden rod, they are used for purification. Line 16: * The ''goshinboku'' tree in ''[[Inuyasha]]'' has a ''shimenawa'' around it in the present, but not in the past. Also in ''[[Inuyasha]]'', some monkeys trick Inu Yasha into touching a small stone which sticks to his hand and becomes a huge boulder. It has a ''shimenawa'' around it. Barriers set by [[Miko~~\|Mikos~~]]s and monks will often be physically represented by a rope hung with ''shide.'' * In ''[[Kannagi]]'', Nagi has an ''ōnusa'' that resembles a [[Magical Girl]]'s wand. There's also a ''shide'' in the series logo, which has four segments, each of which has one of four hiragana characters from the title on it. * The title page illustration for chapter 8 of ''[[Mahoromatic]]'' showed Mahoro dressed up as a ''[[Miko]]'', holding an ''ōnusa'' in one hand and exorcism sutras in the other. (This chapter is about searching for [[The Seven Mysteries\|ghosts at school]].)
