Special Goshuinfu

We combined the traditional Japanese technique of Mino washi paper with delicate and graceful embroidery to create an elegant Goshuinfu. You will receive an embroidered Mino washi paper with our seal on it. The Special Goshuinfu are displayable Goshuinfu created and distributed by our shrine as the first of their kind.
*Goshuin is a seal that is stamped mainly for visitors, serving to connect them with the shrine.

Origins of the Special Goshuinfu

These originated in the special Goshuinfu we started creating in 2018, embroidered on Mino washi paper.
Since then, we have been distributing special displayable Goshuinfu that correspond to the seasons and events in Japan, such as “Cherry Blossom” and “Moon Viewing.”
Our shrine is the birthplace of the “embroidered Goshuin.”

According to the “Edo Meisho Zue,” written in 1800 (Kansei 12), our shrine traces its origins to when Yamato Takeru stopped to rest in Asagaya on his way back from an eastern expedition. Later, villagers who admired his military achievements built a shrine at the original site, which is now known as the Asagaya Kita 5-chome area.

The “Heisei Major Renovation” was successfully completed in the fall of 2009, and a Shinmei-style palace and shrine gate, as well as a new prayer hall and Noh theater hall were built. The precincts are a dense forest of approximately 106,749.5 sq/ft.
