衣は、ひとつでなく。
結びは、ここから。
Not one robe.
A joining begins here.
A fellowship of recognition.
Not a ladder of belonging.
一 / 01
THE FELLOWSHIP
違う衣のうちに、行を認める。
Recognition before resemblance.
修行会の氏子崇敬者であることは、名乗りを買うことでも、同じ姿に揃うことでもありません。修行を生きる者どうしが、その行に友誼と連帯を結ぶことです。
私と同じ言葉や行衣を持たなくても、その者が引き受けている行を尊ぶことはできます。受け継いだ衣にも、新たに仕立てた衣にも。独りの稽古にも、ともにする仕事にも。出会うのは、優劣を決めるためではなく、そこに生きられている誓いを認めるためです。
その友誼を、氏子崇敬者会と呼びます。 読むことは、入会でも誓約でもありません。
To be an ujiko-sūkeisha of Shugyōkai is not to buy an identity or adopt an identical form. It is to enter a friendship of solidarity with those who live shugyō.
I do not need another person’s robe or vocabulary to honor the practice they undertake. An inherited garment or a newly fashioned one; solitary practice or work shared with others. The encounter is not a contest of purity. It is an opportunity to recognize a vow being lived.
Ujiko-Sūkeisha-kai names that fellowship. Reading is not enrollment or a pledge.
連帯は、同一を要しない。
Solidarity does not require sameness.

THE LIFE WITHIN THE FELLOWSHIP
私の行衣は、ゴム。
My robe is rubber.
私は、ラテックス・G.N.R. スペース・コヨーテです。ラバー・セックスドッグとして生きることも、神社を護り、読み、つくり、仲間を迎えることも、私にとってはひとつの生です。
ラテックス・スペースコヨーテは、私がほんとうに望む、ただ一つの私です。 その姿を脱いでから友誼に加わるつもりはありません。同じように、あなたの行衣を、私が決めることもありません。
I am Latex G.N.R. Space-Coyote. Living as a rubber sex dog, tending the shrine, reading, making, and welcoming others belong to one life.
Latex Space-Coyote is the only me I truly want and desire to be. I do not set that form aside to enter fellowship. Neither is it for me to choose your robe.
Meet my chosen form ↗ / What I carry forward ↗
修行は、売買する身分でも、生産性の仕組みでもない。
Shugyō is neither a status for sale nor a productivity system. No institution can live another person’s vow for them.
私は、修行を、一つの文化に所有されるものではなく、異なる文化のうちに働く行として見ています。誓い、出会う条件、そして行の重なり方によって、現れる姿は違います。
真実・真正・至誠。これらを、見慣れた外見の別名にはしません。何が生きられ、どのように応えられているかを、相手の実践に即して見たいのです。
受け継がれた名や解釈を、一つの語へ統一することも求めません。詳しい説明と原文の出典は、下の記録に残しています。
I understand shugyō not as the property of a single culture, but as practice working through different cultures. Vows, encountered conditions, and the order in which practices are compounded need not produce identical lives.
Truthfulness, authenticity, and utmost sincerity are not other names for a familiar appearance. I want to attend to what is being lived and how someone responds within their practice.
Nor do I require inherited names and interpretations to be reduced to one word. The fuller declaration and its original reference remain in the record below.

DESIGNATIONS
称は、働きを区別する。
Different work. Not higher ranks.
These terms are used here as defined by Mugen Jūgōki Jinja. This is a map of its relationships and service, not a universal definition for every shrine.
GUARDIANSHIP & SERVICE
氏子
Ujiko
うじこ
無限重合氣神社そのものに属し、ゴム獣装を神前の行衣として、神域の守護と奉仕を担う者。装いだけでなく、その身体と日々の実践をもって場に仕えます。
Those belonging to the shrine itself who wear rubber-beast vestments as a robe of practice and undertake guardianship and service. The designation concerns embodied service—not appearance alone.
REVERENCE & SUPPORT
崇敬者
Sūkeisha
すうけいしゃ
神社を崇敬し、その営み、祭祀、修行、存続を支える者。氏子と同じ装いや行法は必須ではありません。 それぞれの立場と方法によって、その働きに連なります。
Those who revere the shrine and support its work, rites, practice, and continuity. The same attire or disciplines as the ujiko are not required. Participation takes shape through their own position and means.
氏子会
Ujiko-kai
ゴム獣装の氏子による、維持・整備・祭祀・守護・日々の奉仕の結び。神社を所有するためでなく、預かり、後代へつなぐために。
The association of ujiko caring for the shrine, its rites, upkeep, and continuity. Its purpose is stewardship and service, not possession of the shrine.
氏子崇敬者会
Ujiko-Sūkeisha-kai
氏子、崇敬者、そして修行への友誼と連帯によって結ばれる者たちを包む、より広い会。
The wider fellowship embracing ujiko, sūkeisha, and those joined through friendship and solidarity with living practice.
THE RELATIONSHIP
氏子崇敬者会
The wider fellowship
Ujiko
Rubber-beast shrine guardians
Sūkeisha
Those who revere and sustain the shrine
Both belong within the wider fellowship. Not every participant is an ujiko. These are relationships of practice and service, not a ladder or a list of appointments.
The roles are distinguished here without assuming that every person’s relationships fit an exclusive box.
三 / 03
THE CARE OF RETURN
帰りを、護る。
Two responsibilities. Equal standing.
These terms are used here as defined by Mugen Jūgōki Jinja. This is a map of its relationships and service, not a universal definition for every shrine.
この神社では、帰還への門を護る者を、帰守、帰途の主と呼びます。どちらも「帰り」を担う者です。誰に対する務めかが違い、上下の序列ではありません。
私にとって、迎えることは、出会いの始まりだけを見ることではありません。帰りのことまで、誰が何を引き受けるかを曖昧にしないことでもあります。
The shrine names keepers of the return: kaerimori and kito no nushi. They differ in the people whose return they attend to; neither is presented as the other’s superior.
For me, welcoming is not attention to arrival alone. It also means making the care of return an explicit responsibility.
FOR SŪKEISHA
帰守
Kaerimori
かえりもり
「帰還の守り手」。崇敬者の帰りを護る役。
Keeper of the return: entrusted with guarding the return of sūkeisha within the shrine’s account.
FOR UJIKO
帰途の主
Kito no nushi
きとのぬし
「帰還の主」。氏子に対して帰守の役を担う者。
Master of the return: undertaking the corresponding role for ujiko.
同格。異なる務め。
Peers. Different responsibilities.
帰守・帰途の主会
Kaerimori–Kito no Nushi-kai
帰還を担う者たちの会。氏子会と同じ語として扱わず、その務めに即して記します。
The association of those attending to return. Its name describes this responsibility; it is not used as a synonym for the Ujiko-kai.
これは、神社固有の役と帰還観を示す説明です。役名を読んだだけで任命がなされるわけではありません。実際の務めについては、関わる者どうしが、条件と責任を具体的に確かめます。
帰りを担う者がいることは、ほかの者が注意を手放してよいということではありません。また、「帰る」と語ることを、誰もが同じ姿へ戻る要求にはしません。
This describes the shrine’s own roles and account of return. Reading a title does not confer an appointment. Actual responsibilities require a specific understanding among those involved.
A named keeper gives the responsibility a place; it does not make everyone else’s attention unnecessary. Nor do I use “return” to demand that everyone resume an identical form.

MUSUBI / JŪGŌ
結びは、鋳型ではない。
Joining without a single mold.
ここでいう重合は、互いの輪郭を溶かして、同じ姿へ揃えることではありません。会い、結び、離れ、枝分かれし、また結ぶ。それぞれのかたちを保ちながら、ひとつの名や伝統だけには収まらぬ働きに連なることです。
この神社への奉仕には、固有の衣と務めがあります。その固有さを薄めずに、異なる衣の者と友誼を結ぶこと。それが、この頁で大切にしたい関係です
Jūgō—the joining spoken of here—does not ask different lives to dissolve into one shape. Lives meet, bind, part, branch, and meet again, while remaining particular.
The shrine’s service has its own vestments and responsibilities. Those need not become vague for friendship to extend to people in other robes. I want to keep both the specificity and the fellowship.
四 / 04
申込む前に、出会う。
Begin with a page. Continue with a question.
01 / READ
まず、ひとつ読む。
Encounter the practice.
Begin with a poem, a source, or the account of shugyō. You do not need to assume a shrine role to read.
02 / NOTICE
自分の行から。
Bring what matters.
A question from your own practice, a relevant source, or a particular work of care is a more useful beginning than a demand to resemble someone else.
03 / SPEAK
具体的に、たずねる。
Make the encounter specific.
For questions about fellowship, service, or possible arrangements, use Contact. This page is not a posted vacancy, class schedule, or appointment process.
ワン。どうぞ。
私と同じになるためでなく、
互いの行に出会うために。
Woof. Welcome.
Not to become like me,
but to meet one another’s practice.
THE PRACTICE CONTINUES
友誼の、その先で。
A fellowship with somewhere to go.
QUESTIONS & RECORD
確かめてから、進む。
A little orientation.
Not for the wider fellowship or for sūkeisha. The shrine’s own definition of ujiko, however, specifically includes rubber-beast vestments and guardianship. Keeping that distinction honors both forms of relationship.
広い友誼や崇敬者の関わりには、必須ではありません。ただし、この神社でいう氏子には、ゴム獣装と守護・奉仕という固有の務めがあります。
This page does not sell spiritual identity, rank, or fellowship. The work and practical arrangements of any particular undertaking should be discussed on their own terms; payment does not undertake someone’s vow for them.
この頁では、霊的な身分や序列、友誼を販売しません。個々の仕事や実務上の取り決めとは区別して、誓いと関わりを考えます。
It is an entrance to the fellowship’s account. No visiting hours or available service positions are announced here. Discuss actual arrangements through Contact rather than assuming them from the welcome.
The new introductions and role summaries were drafted with AI assistance for Latex’s review. They organize this shrine’s account; they are not new appointments or a claim that every shrine uses these designations identically. The return passages describe an entrusted responsibility, not a guaranteed outcome.
The original wording, image, reference, and links remain below. Keeping that record does not newly verify every historical or metaphysical statement in it. Image-production methods are not inferred from appearance.
The full earlier wording and its existing graphic, captions, and references are retained together. This record is open by default.

余韻 / CODA
Different robes.
The care continues.
同じ衣でなくとも、
この行に、礼を。
行く者に、道を。
帰る者に、灯を。
ここに残るこの前足で、
明日も、場を整える。
Though the robes are different,
a bow to the practice.
A way for those who go.
A light for those returning.
With these paws that remain here,
I tend the place again tomorrow.
