According to Japanese folk belief, Red is the color for "expelling demons and illness." They wear red most of the time because of this. That is why their symbol above is red.
Shinto followers often wear a mamori charm to protect and help them.
At the front of the shrine, worshipers usually toss a coin into a donation box, ring a bell to tell them kami they are there, make two deep bows, clap loudly
twice to wake up the kami if they are sleeping, bow again and hold their head
down as long as the prayer lasts.
