|games      = [[Fatal Frame III]]}}The term used in [[Fatal Frame III]] to describe those who visited the [[Kuze Shrine]] to offer their pain to the [[Tattooed Priestess]]. These worshippers were residents of the mountain villages that were near the Kuze Shrine. Whenever a loved one perished, that person&amp;#039;s loved ones would journey to the Kuze Shrine to offer their pain of loss to the Tattooed Priestess. They were only allowed to travel to the Kuze Shrine during the winter months; once the snow in the mountains melted away they were no longer allowed to offer their pain. &amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;quot;[[Folklore Notes 1]]&amp;quot;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;, [[Fatal Frame III: The Tormented]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
In preparation for their journey to the shrine, the worshippers would shroud the bodies of their dead loved ones in hemp sacks and transport them on open carts.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;quot;[[Yuu&amp;#039;s Notes 3]]&amp;quot;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;, [[Zero Shisei no Koe Complete Official Capture Book]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Because the ritual was held at intervals of several years, worshippers would travel in groups together to the shrine; the sight is frequently compared to a funeral procession. Once they reached the shrine, the worshippers would wait their turn to offer their pain. At all times while at the shrine, the worshippers were required to cover their faces with masks. &amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;quot;[[Taboo Tome(FF3)|Taboo Tome]]&amp;quot;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;, [[Fatal Frame III: The Tormented]].&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The worshippers were required to make an offering both of their own blood and that of their loved one. The living blood, half of the ink required for preparing the [[Ink of the Soul]], was known as [[Red ink]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;quot;[[Rite of Purple Ink Tome]]&amp;quot;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;, [[Fatal Frame III: The Tormented]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; The worshipper was expected to carry out the entire [[Piercing of the Soul|ceremony]] without feeling. &amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;quot;[[Taboo Tome(FF3)|Taboo Tome]]&amp;quot;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;, [[Fatal Frame III: The Tormented]].&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; During the ceremony, incense was burned and the [[Handmaidens]] would sing the [[Handmaiden&amp;#039;s Song]]. &amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;quot;[[Tape &amp;quot;Manor of Sleep: A&amp;quot;]]&amp;quot;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; [[Fatal Frame III: The Tormented]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; &amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;quot;[[Folklore Notes 3]]&amp;quot;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;, [[Fatal Frame III: The Tormented]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; The bundle containing the worshipper&amp;#039;s loved one&amp;#039;s body was taken to the [[Wooden Figure Room]]. In this room, the body was suspended on two ropes between a pair of giant Buddha statues and an Engraver would draw blood from it to obtain the [[Indigo ink]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;quot;[[Rite of Purple Ink Tome]]&amp;quot;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;, [[Fatal Frame III: The Tormented]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  &amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;quot;[[Rei&amp;#039;s Notebook]]: [[RN:The Ceremony Room|The Ceremony Room]]&amp;quot;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;, [[Fatal Frame III: The Tormented]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; The two kinds of blood were then mixed and the worshipper&amp;#039;s pain was tattooed onto the priestess, thus concluding the ceremony.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After the ceremony was complete, a [[Kushimi Doll]] was created, dyed with the worshipper&amp;#039;s ink and enshrined in one of the [[Doll Altars]], to deify the worshipper&amp;#039;s loved one before the worshipper would return to their home village.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;quot;[[Impalement Tome]]&amp;quot;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;, [[Fatal Frame III: The Tormented]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; The worshippers&amp;#039; blood would also be used to record their names in the back of the [[Commandment Tome]], to register their participation in the ritual.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;quot;[[Yuu&amp;#039;s Notes 3]]&amp;quot;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;, [[Zero Shisei no Koe Complete Official Capture Book]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
One of the symptoms of the [[Tattooed Curse]] mentioned in the game is seeing a masked funeral march walking towards an old shrine. &amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[[&amp;quot;The Manor of Sleep&amp;quot;]], [[Fatal Frame III: The Tormented]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
