A goshuinchō (御朱印帳) is, if you want to translate it, a “book of seals”. Most shrines and temples in Japan have a goshuin (御朱印), a seal that belongs only to that institution. When visiting these sites you may have noticed people holding small, colorful books and lining up at the shrine/temple office. As proof of their pilgrimage, visitors who have a goshuinchō pass their book to a shrine official, (usually a priest/monk, but sometimes a volunteer staffer), who inscribes the date and name of the shrine or temple in calligraphy along with the goshuin seal in vermilion. Once considered something only the older generation or the especially devout did while undertaking specific pilgrimages, recently the practice of collecting seals in a goshuinchō has experienced a surge in popularity with both the younger generation as well as tourists, who view it as a way to create a book of memories detailing where they went on their trip.
Beautiful stamp book. I got the Kyoto and Tokyo ones and they are both lovely with thick paper within.
The items were packed well so they managed to survive my postie jamming the parcel into my mailbox.
Would recommend if looking for a stamp or goshuin book
