Otaku Seido

The shrine dedicated to Otaku is a necessary pilgrimage for any young Utaku maiden on the verge of becoming a Shiotome. Young Utaku girls are not allowed to pass their gempukku until they have spent a night in this shrine, communing with their ancestors and seeking their guidance. The shrine maintains the Otaku name, rather than dishonoring the original Otaku by changing it. (3E p. 299)
