In shabutsu, you will trace the central area of the image of the Buddha, drawn in light gray, with a brush pen.

Time thus spent will be a priceless experience for you. After shakyo and shabutsu, you will be given a special red stamp as proof of paying respect to the temple and submitting the sutra/image. ※You can borrow a brush pen from the temple.
