This is a perfect pouch for carrying your precious Goshuincho (temple/shrine seal book).Made with fabric featuring the traditional Japanese Asanoha (hemp leaf) pattern, it has a simple yet profound design.
[What is Goshuin?]Goshuin, also known as Nokyo-in, was originally received as proof of having copied sutras at a temple and dedicating them.Starting from temples, Goshuin eventually spread to shrines, and is now received as proof of visiting a shrine or temple.Typically, it consists of a stamp in vermilion ink with the Goshuin seal or shrine name, and the name of the principal image or shrine name and the date of visit written in ink, which are received in a Goshuincho.As it is received as proof of worship, unlike a stamp rally, each one is sacred, and some people carry the Goshuin itself as a talisman.Especially in recent years, with the boom in visiting temples and shrines, the number of people collecting Goshuin is increasing.
Goshuincho generally come in two sizes: Bunko (pocket) size (11 x 16 cm) and large (B6) size (12 x 18 cm).This item is sized to fit the larger size perfectly.It can also store two smaller size Goshuincho.
[What is the Asanoha (Hemp Leaf) Pattern?]The "Asanoha pattern," a representative Japanese pattern, is a geometric pattern that stylizes the shape of hemp leaves and is familiar to Japanese people.Hemp grows large with little effort, and its growth is said to reach 4 meters in 4 months.Furthermore, the Asanoha pattern itself was believed to have the power to ward off evil spirits, so it also had the meaning of protection against evil.For this reason, it has been frequently used in baby clothing, symbolizing the growth of the child and protection from evil.It was also frequently used in children's kimonos with the same wish for health and vigorous growth.
The Asanoha pattern is said to have existed as early as the Heian period, and the decoration of Buddhist statues produced at that time features the Asanoha pattern.In the Edo period, when the Kabuki actor Ichikawa Danjuro II, who used the "Yamato-ya" house name, wore an outfit with the Asanoha pattern on stage, it led to a great popularity of Asanoha patterned kimonos among the common people.The popularity of the Asanoha pattern has not waned since then, and various variations have been created.
Available in two calm colors: navy and vermilion.This is an item that can be used by people of a wide range of ages.
