Shide is a traditional Japanese ritual paper streamer that plays a significant role in Shinto practices. It is typically made from white paper or rapeseed and is characterized by its zigzag or folded shape. Shide is often used as a symbol of purity and to ward off evil spirits. In Shinto shrines, shide can be found hanging from sacred objects or attached to torii gates, marking areas considered sacred.
