Goshuin Collection
御朱印 — Hand-Brushed Temple & Shrine Seals
A goshuin is a hand-brushed seal received in person from a Japanese temple or shrine — proof of a pilgrimage, dated and signed in calligraphy and vermillion ink. Each one is unique to the place and the day. This is my collection: every stamp identified, dated, read element by element, and traced back to the trip it came from.

Each entry is identified through the seal calligraphy, brushwork, and date column on the goshuin itself, with confidence ratings noted where the day character is hard to read or the variant is ambiguous. Cross-referenced with shrine and temple records, then annotated with the deity, the blessing, and the trip context.
