Summary
| Description |
English: Head priest of Pure Land Buddhist temple (Jodo-shu) in rural Fukui prefecture visits the home of a parishioner to chant a sutra for the repose of the deceased family member. For particularly prominent members of society, sometimes a choir of priests rather than individual clergy will recite the sutra. In rural Japan the living spaces are bigger than many urban housing and so a dedicated memorial cabinet (butsudan, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Butsudan) like this one is provided for daily prayer by family members and for periodic priestly visits.
