Goshuincho - a notebook for collecting words and stamps given by shrines and temples





Kanda Myojin is a very innovative shrine. 
While they preserve tradition, they procure new waves of subculture like animation.

This is a shuin-cho, a notebook for collecting words and stamps given by shrines and temples as tokens of visiting the places.
Shuin-cho with animated illustrations is uncommon. It is so cute, isn’t it?
