犠 - Sacrifice
In a fiery Edo festival, a Cow with deep brown hide and gentle eyes is tied to a red altar, drums beating “ドンドン” around it.
The crowd chants solemnly, invoking Sacrifice, as incense smoke curls in golden spirals.
On its flank, a glowing symbol of Righteousness shines, reminding everyone that this Sacrifice is not cruel but a sacred duty, honoring the old Zhou rites.
A flicker of ceremonial fire makes the Cow shimmer, and you hear the soft “ギ-ギ-ギ” of its movement, embedding Sacrifice into memory with rhythm, color, and ritual.
