Camellia Tea CeremonyDuring one of Emperor Go-Daigo's outings to Shimogamo-jinja (下鴨神社), 5 bubbles appeared in the water as he purified his hands.
Interpreted as the human body (五体-head, arms and legs), it was taken as a fortuitous sign.
The emperor offered 5 rice dumplings (4 big and 1 small) to the shrine gods.
