oonusa

A Shinto ritual purification wand which resembles a gohei except with much more paper streamer decorations attached to a wooden staff or "sakaki":https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cleyera_japonica branch. If the staff is hexagonal or octagonal it is a haraegushi. The oonusa is waved over the person, object or offering in order to transfer the sins and pollutions to it.
