Textile Goshuincho - Red Carp

A Goshuincho featuring the original textile by Ki-Yan Studio on its cover. As the placement of the pattern varies slightly with each piece, every book is a unique, one-of-a-kind design. *Please note that we use textiles specifically designed for small accessories, so variations are subtle. We are unable to accommodate requests for specific pattern placements. Thank you for your understanding. This is a dedicated notebook for collecting Shuin (red stamps), which can be obtained at shrines and temples as proof of your visit. Traditionally, Shuin consist of a red stamp with a motif of the shrine or temple and a handwritten inscription of the deity's name or the establishment's name in black ink. However, designs vary greatly from one place to another, and nowadays, many unique and personalized Shuin can be found. In Kyoto, you can even collect Shuin at the Gion Matsuri festival floats. More than just a collection of stamps, a Goshuincho filled with Shuin – treated with the same respect as amulets or charms – becomes a cherished keepsake, bringing back fond travel memories simply by looking through it.
