Date: Monday, September 23, 2024 (National Holiday)
Venue: Jodo Sect Mitate-ji Temple
2-9-11 Motomachi, Kawagoe City, Saitama Prefecture, Japan

This Shabutsu event was requested as part of the program commemorating the 850th anniversary of the founding of the Jodo Sect, organized by Mitate-ji Temple.

We held Shabutsu sessions in both the morning and afternoon, and once again shared a wonderful and peaceful day with many participants.

We sincerely thank everyone who joined us.

Each participant chose their own tracing template and carefully drew with heartfelt dedication for the memorial service of their ancestors during the equinoctial week. Although most were first-timers, I was deeply moved by the sincere focus everyone showed throughout the process and the beautiful works that were created.

Looking forward to seeing everyone again, we plan to hold a large New Year Shabutsu event at Zojoji Temple on January 19 next year.
