Please note : The Japanese characters used for these precepts on our shop are following the ancient way of writing such as not using voiced consonant mark(e.g 「つ」(tsu) instead of 「づ」(zu). This is because people back in those times didn’t write these voiced consonant. So you might come across these precepts written in slightly different way on other sites. Other examples are usjing 「ふ」instead of 「う」（思(ふ) instead of 思う）. Lists go on… You might come across these precepts in other writing styles on the internet, but that does not mean our products are spelt wrong.
