【Made with Specially Made Handcrafted Washi Paper】This stamp book uses a special washi paper that is lightweight, quick-drying, and resistant to ink bleed-through.
* A beautiful goshuincho (stamp book) with a gold brocade cover.
* Each stamp book has the name of the temple, an explanation, the principal image, and the temple's hymn printed on it.
* To prevent ink bleed-through, extra paper is inserted between the stamp pages, which are bound with washi paper.
* The pattern placement varies from book to book.
* The book begins with an illustration of Kannon and the Ten-Verse Kannon Sutra, followed by spaces for stamps from 33 temples (Kegonji Temple has 3 pages), spaces for the extra temples of Hokkiin, Genkeiji, and Hanayamain Bodaiji, and blank pages.
* It is the same B5 size as a standard notebook. Unlike compact types, you can get impressive stamps. * At the 33rd temple, "Tanigumi-san Kegon-ji," you can receive three types of goshuin (temple stamps): Oizuri-do (future), Mangan-do (past), and Hondo (present).
* The extra temples, "Hoki-in," the mausoleum of Dōtoku Shōnin, the founder of the Saigoku pilgrimage, and "Genkei-ji" and "Kazan-in Bosatsu-ji," which have a deep connection to Emperor Kazan, who revived the Saigoku pilgrimage, are also visited along with the 33 Kannon temples.
This is a pilgrimage notebook for the 33 Kannon temples of Saigoku.
