<i>Yorishiro</i> Object capable of attracting spirits called kami

A yorishiro (依り代/依代/憑り代/憑代) in Shinto terminology is an object capable of attracting spirits called kami, thus giving them a physical space to occupy during religious ceremonies. Yorishiro are used during ceremonies to call the kami for worship. The word itself literally means "approach substitute". Once a yorishiro actually houses a kami, it is called a shintai.

Persons can play the same role as a yorishiro, and in that case are called yorimashi or kamigakari.
