As Kakumyo ends his kessei term (a trial period acting as co-abbot), he participates in Shokakukaido (which means “presenting the teaching”). This is a testing ceremony, similar to Hossen. His teacher Gyokuko will determine whether he passes or not. If he passes, he will have met the qualifications to become abbot, and the process to nominate and approve him as abbot can begin.
