Taniguchi Shoudo Wagami Koji Goshuincho Drawstring Bag with Cherry (Yagasuri Blossoms)

[Drawstring bag dimensions: 275 x 180 mm] This bag can accommodate a variety of sizes, from standard-sized goshuincho to slightly larger ones. It can also hold up to two standard-sized goshuincho. [Material: Polyester (Fabric and String), Wood (Wood Beads)] The drawstring bag is made of stain-resistant polyester. The end of the string has a wooden bead attached to it, which matches the atmosphere of a temple stamp pilgrimage. This drawstring pouch protects your precious stamp book from dirt and is useful for carrying it around. It can hold two stamp books up to 182 x 121 mm. In addition to stamp books, it is also useful for organizing your bag, storing small items, or when going out in a kimono. This drawstring bag features the same Japanese pattern as the Hannari Kimono series of goshuincho (stamp book) from Taniguchi Shoudo. You can match it with the same pattern, or you can match it with a goshuincho (stamp book) with a different pattern to make collecting goshuin stamps more fun. A goshuincho is a special notebook that you bring with you to receive a goshuin, a stamp that serves as proof of your visit to a shrine or temple. Goshuin are also called nokyoin, and were given to shrines and temples by worshippers as proof of their faith when they submitted a sutra. Unlike commemorative stamps, many temples and shrines not only stamp their stamps with their distinctive seal, but also have monks or Shinto priests carefully write the date of your visit, the name of the temple or shrine, and other information on each page in ink. It will be a great memento and record of your trip.
