Kamikiri

Kamikiri


 Kami-kiri are known for sneaking up on people and cutting all their hair off, particularly when they are unknowingly engaged to marry a youkai, spirit or other supernatural creature that is disguised as a human. These hair-cutting attacks are intended to delay or prevent weddings between humans and otherworldly beings, which are typically doomed to failure. There a spell to protect oneself from this that goes:

 \ are 異国より 悪魔の風の　吹きくるに  そこ吹きもどせ  伊勢の神風 (ikokuyori akumanokazeno fukikuruni sokofukimodose isenokamikaze) which means “When devil’s wind  comes from a foreign place, may the gods send a counter-wind (from Ise; Ise is a strong shinto region)
