Originally, Goshuincho (stamp books) were used to collect official stamps (Goshuin) as proof of offering prayers or copying Buddhist scriptures at temples. Over time, however, the practice has become simpler, and nowadays, visitors typically receive these stamps after making a pilgrimage or offering a prayer at a temple or shrine, including Shinto shrines. The Goshuin is often viewed as a representation of the deity or main figure of the temple, and it serves as a tangible connection, allowing visitors to visually honor the bond between themselves and the places they visit.

In addition to being perfect for collecting Goshuin, this stamp book is also ideal for gathering stamps from train stations and tourist destinations. Many people use their Goshuincho to collect unique stamps from all over Japan, with each stamp becoming a cherished memory of their travels.

Thanks to its accordion-fold design, you can utilize both sides of the pages, maximizing the space available for your stamps. Moreover, the stamp book comes with a label sticker, allowing you to freely title your collection (e.g., "Temple Visits in Japan," etc.).

Whether you're an experienced traveler or just beginning your collection, this stamp book provides the perfect way to preserve your memories in style. Capture the essence of your journey with this beautiful and functional Goshuincho, and let each stamp become a lasting reminder of your adventures.

Tradition and Techniques of Shogado

Since its establishment in Kyoto in 1964, Shogado has evolved from selling traditional Japanese bound books to creating stationery and miscellaneous goods crafted from washi paper. This transition reflects their expertise in utilizing authentic washi sourced from renowned production areas like Fukui Prefecture. Particularly noteworthy are the products hand-dyed by skilled artisans in Kyoto, known as Yuzen paper, distinguished by their superior texture and coloration, setting them apart from mass-produced goods.



Shogado's philosophy is deeply rooted in carrying forward the Japanese aesthetic to future generations. Just as traditional bound books once played a pivotal role in people's daily lives in an analog Japan, Shogado continues to innovate products that meet the demands of the modern era. At Komorebi Stationery, we are delighted to offer these exquisite items, inviting you to experience the charm of Shogado's craftsmanship.
