Shuni-e

Kiyomizu-dera's Shuni-e is a traditional service held in February in the innermost sanctuary of the main hall. The temple's annual calendar places the Shuni-e in early February, right after the Shusho-e. During the service, participants confess their sins before the main image enshrined deep in the sanctuary and pray for their absolution. Alongside the Shusho-e and Nehan-e, the Shuni-e is one of Kiyomizu's annual rites, the important service of February.
