The red stamps that shrines and temples provide for visitors are known as “goshuin.” Learn how to make your own handbook in which to collect your goshuin as you visit places of worship in Japan. The handbook can be seen as a record of your relationship with the gods and with Buddha, and is a must-have for anyone interested in Japanese religious culture. Each of Japan’s many shrines and temples has a unique goshuin. Collecting them into one handbook is the best the way to appreciate them.
