奉 - Observance
In ancient Shinto rites, Observance meant carefully carrying offerings: a sacred stick balanced atop three trays, borne by a person who steps forward with two hands in reverence. This mirrors how 奉 was used for 'dedication' in classical Japan, where nobles presented food and gifts to the gods in solemn ritual.
