Dive into the mystical world of Itako, Japan’s blind shamans from the northern Tohoku region, especially Aomori Prefecture, where they have practiced for centuries since the Edo period (1603–1868).
These shamans, often trained from childhood and blind by choice or birth, act as bridges to the dead and kami gods, performing kuchiyose rituals to invoke spirits during festivals like Obon in August.
Curiosity: Itako use rosaries (juzu) and fans (ogi) as ritual objects, not totems like in other cultures, to channel voices in trances at sacred sites like Mount Osore, a volcanic “gate to the underworld” where rituals coincide with full moons for stronger connections.
Fog unveils ghostly whispers, rivers cleanse souls in ongoing rites that survive today despite modernization, with Itako still sought for healing and advice in rural areas.
This short awakens the ancient power—embrace Itako visions today.
