How to make a Hinna-kami*1:
1. Collect some soil of seven cemeteries from seven different villages*2.
2. Mix the soil with human blood and mould it into the shape of a god you believe in.
3. Bury the doll in a busy street and let one thousand people step over it*3.
4. If you then worship the doll, it will bring to you whatever your heart desires.
But before you proceed with this ritual, remember that Hinna-kami will haunt you for the rest of your life, and in the end you will die a horrible, painful death. It might even still be possessing your soul after you die, so that it can take your soul to hell.
Other sources say:
人形神(Hinna-kami, Hinna-gami or the doll-god) is a name given to a type of possessive spirit, famous around Toyama Prefecture. In those areas, when a family suddenly becomes wealthy, people whisper behind their back that they must be worshiping a Hinna-kami.
You can also make a Hinna-kami by the following method:
Make one thousand dolls, each one measuring 9 cm tall, and boil them in a pan.
You will see only one out of the one thousand dolls will float up to the surface.
The one that floats up is called "Kochobo" and it traps one thousand spirits within it.
If you then worship it, it will bring to you whatever you want.
When you are not giving any commands to it, it comes to you of its own accord demanding 'What's next?What's next?' So that is why the family that worships a Hinna-kami tends to suddenly become wealthy.

Note:
*1 "kami" means a "god" in Japanese.
*2 Another source says you make the doll out of gravestone.
*3 Another source says "three thousand people for three years."

ah I wonder if everyone in the family will die a painful death or only the one who made the doll(s)? hmmm...
@sichyo: always my pleasure, dear. I don't know if the whole family will be affected because I'm only the translator. But if I find out the answer I'll let you know!
Anyways, thanks Saya for sharing this. :)
and i'll never do that xD
I wonder why the doll is so bad? Does it have to do with the blood you mix it with, or more to the fact that you seem to be trapping a spirit of some sort?
@Adorably Dead: I've done Kokkuri-san when I was a kid. It was very popular at school those days.
Don't know the answers to that, I'm afraid, but if I find out I'll let you know!!
@HN3: really? yes they do get creepy sometimes.
When the Hinna-Kami came and said "What's next?", I would say: "What's next, my dear Hinna-Kami, is that you must calculate the number 'pi' with complete accuracy, until the very last digit, but if I ever ask you for anything while you are still calculating, then you must always pause and do what I ask — and THEN always return to completing the calculation of pi."
