Gohei Gallery

A gohei is a traditional Japanese Shinto ritual wand featuring zigzag paper streamers, frequently depicted in anime, manga, and gaming illustrations. This iconic item is commonly wielded by shrine maidens and spiritual characters, such as Reimu Hakurei, Rei Hino, and Kikyo, during purification ceremonies. Artworks often showcase the gohei in mystical shrine settings, emphasizing traditional Japanese folklore and supernatural themes.
