The eye-dotting ceremony involves placing a symbolic red dot on the eyes. According to Chinese culture, the ritual is to empower the lion or dragon to fulfil its duty of bringing about protection, good luck, health and prosperity to those present.
Literally, it refers to a story about a drawing (ga 画) of a dragon (ryu 竜) that when the final dot (ten 点) is drawn on the pupil of its eye (sei 睛), the dragon in the picture takes flight. More figuratively, however, it denotes the important of the “finishing touch” or the “final detail” that completes a task at hand.
