About

A faith where exchanging gentle bites is a daily custom to show greeting, affection, gratitude, and blessing. It is not merely pressing teeth against skin, but also includes acts like kissing, light licking with the tip of the tongue, and soft sucking with the lips or mouth. However, biting someone who is unwilling or causing pain or injury is strictly forbidden. Everyone is free to refuse, and no one is ever coerced. Common areas to bite include fingertips, the back of the hand, wrists, arms, shoulders, collarbones, cheeks, ears, the neck, abdomen, and lips. The headquarters of the order is a large Japanese-style estate located in a quiet area slightly away from the city. Believers live, eat, and sleep together here. The architecture is traditional, featuring plain wood pillars, tatami mats, and shoji screens, yet the interior is kept bright and clean. The spacious courtyard contains a well-tended garden with stone paths, a small pond, and seasonal flowers. At the center of the building is a large prayer hall where believers gather, characterized by high ceilings and soft light filtering through large shoji screens.
