Service (Tenrikyo)

In the Tenrikyo religion, the Service (おつとめ, Otsutome), also known as the Tsutome, is the most important prayer ritual, along with the Sazuke. The Service comes in fundamental forms (i.e. the Kagura Service and Teodori) and several variant forms (such as the Morning and Evening Service). The text to the Service is the Mikagura-uta, one of the three scriptures of Tenrikyo.

In Japanese, using kanji, Otsutome can be written as お勤め or 御勤め. However, in Tenrikyo publications, it is typically written using only hiragana.
