The ikupasuy (イクパスイ ikupasui) is a prayer stick and good luck charm used by the members of the Ainu Tribe.
About[]
An ikupasuy is a carved wooden stick used for prayer by the Ainu Tribe and the carvings have a very deep meaning to the Ainu. It is also a good luck charm and the one carrying it will be protected by the gods.[1]
The one carried by Usui Horokeu was crafted to him by his little sister, Usui Pirica,[2] and would later become the main medium for two of his Over Souls.[3][4]
Anime/Manga Difference[]
In the 2001 anime series, it also served as the medium for Horokeu's Giant Over Soul.[5]
Trivia[]
- In the Ainu language, ikupasuy means "libation stick" since they would be dipped into alcohol during religious ceremonies.
