So, I was looking again over my lineage chart and I was wondering what people traditionally do with them. Is it normally framed and displayed or kept somewhere personal and private? Right now it is still folded up on my alter, so I can easily unfold it and stare at it. I get the same feeling I used to get when I learned the lineage of the military unit I belonged to. It is both humbling and inspiring to look at all those who blazed the trail before me.
And for a somewhat less pressing question; Is there a a story or reason behind putting the Rakusu on top of your head before saying the verse of the kesa? Not that everything in life needs a reason![]()
