These are about 100 sheets of washi paper that have been used to wrap the deity since the Edo period. They are taken out of the box and exposed to the air once a year during a ritual. The name of the donor and the date are written on the washi paper, and the dates can be seen from the Koka era (1845-). From then until the Reiwa era, villagers have been putting in new washi paper whenever the paper becomes low due to insect damage.
The wooden box that holds the object of worship is inscribed with the words '107th Emperor Goyozei, Year of the Koshi in the Keicho Era,' meaning it dates to the 5th year of the Keicho Era (1600). They've been using this wooden box since the year of the Battle of Sekigahara. There's a history of the village there, and it's been passed down for so long, which I found very moving.
