This is a rare sugoroku,which has a religious theme. It is a game for young priests to teach them the reachings of Buddhism. It is said that the dice used for this game had six Chinese characters (one on each side,) which represent an honorific title of God,in stead of numbers. It would be easy for
young priests to learn the doctrine in a game like this.
