Japan is famous for its innovations, and at the same time, the Japanese continue to adhere to certain rules and rituals of their ancestors. And some of them are related to salt.
Table salt is useful not only in the kitchen for cooking. With the help of salt, as the Japanese say, you can protect your home from evil spirits and attract good luck.
The Japanese leave salt in all the rooms of their homes. Even in the bathroom and toilet you can see bowls with salt.
In Japan, it is believed that evil spirits can enter the house through ventilation holes or opening windows, and that over time, a large amount of negative energy accumulates in the premises.
Most often, pyramids with salt are placed in the house: they are triangular, but variations are possible. Sometimes salt is simply scattered in the corners of the rooms, but this is not very practical.
In addition, the Japanese leave salt in the corners of the house to cleanse the space. Salt is also considered an excellent interior decoration.
Salt pyramids should have several faces; triangular pyramids are considered the most effective and popular.
