9:55 Watch carefully. I, Oyagami, will assuredly give you the gift known as the Food of Heaven. *Note: Once the Kanrodai is completed and the Joyous Service performed, the sweet dew will fall from heaven without fail on the flat vessel placed on the top section of the Kanrodai. This is the Food (jikimotsu) or Gift of Heaven. For an explanation of “Food of Heaven” refer to the note for 8:79.
