  [Limited to 3,000 pieces] GOKOKUIN ~ Kyoto Nichiren Sect Koshozan Renkyuji Temple ~

  

  ◆What is Gokokuin?

  A Gokokuin is a proof of pilgrimage (memorial of visiting a demonic spot) given at shrines and temples associated with demonic spots such as ghosts, monsters, and sorcery. It is basically made of black hosho paper with a vermilion stamp design and ink writing on top.

  The first Gokokuin comes with a special Gokokuin story by Daiun Miki, the chief priest of Renkyuji Temple in Kyoto well known as a ghost story priest and established "Ghost Story Preaching," which uses ghost stories as a starting point to preach Buddhism in an easy-to-understand manner.
