「お祈り」(Oinori) is a Japanese term that means "prayer." It is a spiritual practice where individuals communicate with a higher power, often seeking guidance, support, or expressing gratitude. This practice can be found in various religions, including Shinto and Buddhism, and is often performed at shrines or temples. During お祈り, people may bow, clap their hands, or offer incense as part of their ritual. The act can be personal or communal, and it often reflects cultural values such as respect and mindfulness. Many Japanese people incorporate お祈り into their daily lives, especially during significant events like New Year celebrations or family gatherings.
