There is no back seedling. "

At the door of receiving the son's family, leaning on a long ladder, a sieve was placed above the long ladder. The children's house prepares a namebag in advance. The name of the incense candle shop was sold in the past. This post -name bag was passed from the gap between the long ladder into the sending father's house and hung it on the house.

When sending the name, the monks need to give their children some things, such as monks, dresses, and so on. The most prominent is the sign of the name and the name lock (cable).

When the parents think that the child has matured and grows, the relationship between reputation is terminated. The ritual of the termination of the relationship is called "returning" and "pulling the bag", that is, the name of the post -name when the name is sent to the temple is taken back and returned to the world.
