- What it means
A goshuincho (goshuin book, or temple stamp book) is a folding book in which temples and shrines write and stamp a seal (goshuin) for visitors. This one is the temple’s renewed original design: a black cover stamped in gold, red and white foil with the main hall, Tokyo Tower and cherry blossoms. It measures 18.2 × 12.2 cm and has 46 pages. The temple writes its own seal on the first page before it is sent, and the date of that seal cannot be chosen.
- Where it's from
Ordered from the official online 授与所 (charm office) of Zojoji Temple (増上寺), Shiba, Tokyo — at the foot of Tokyo Tower. It comes as a folding stamp book (accordion style) with a black cover stamped in gold foil.
