£7.00

Kegare (穢れ) is an important concept in Japanese spiritual traditions, especially within Shinto and Buddhism. At its core, kegare refers to a state of spiritual impurity or defilement that affects both individuals and spaces. This state of impurity can arise from various sources, including personal actions, natural events, or the presence of negative influences. In Shinto, kegare is closely linked to the idea of maintaining spiritual harmony and purity, which is crucial for achieving a balanced and respectful relationship with the kami (deities or spirits). Similarly, in Buddhism, kegare is associated with the concept of spiritual defilement that obstructs one’s path to enlightenment. This event will explore how kegare influences daily life, spiritual practices, and cultural rituals in Japan, offering a deeper understanding of how this concept shapes the Japanese society overall.
