【Kiri-bi】 is an ancient Japanese custom for warding off evil and negative spirits.
Historically, fire stones used as sacred objects involved striking a fire with a fire drill (きねうす) during Shinto rituals at shrines, creating a pure fire called "Kiri-bi" or "cut fire."This practice was simplified over time to using a fire stone and fire striker, striking sparks onto people or objects to purify them.
Today, striking a fire stone to pray for safety and peace when going out remains a widespread custom among the entertainment industry, artists, athletes, those involved in competitive activities, people engaged in dangerous work, and shops wishing for prosperity.
This set includes a crystal as a fire stone, ready for immediate use, making it a great value.
Crystals are beautiful gemstones formed in nature, believed to possess luck and purifying powers.Using a crystal as a fire stone can also boost confidence and courage.Since each crystal is hand-chipped, there are individual differences, each with its own charm.

【How to Use the Easy Fire Striker】When striking the fire stone onto a person or object as a sacred object, hold the fire stone in your right hand and the fire striker in your left hand.Use the curved edge of the fire striker to quickly and forcefully strike the corner of the fire stone, producing sparks.
If the corner of the fire stone becomes rounded and sparks no longer fly, carefully shave the corner to restore it.Be sure to avoid getting stone fragments in your eyes.*Do not strike the fire stone directly against the striker; instead, rub the striker like a match to produce sparks with less force, which also prevents damage to the tools.*
