Hajimete-no-Jinja – Goshuin (Shrine Seals)

When visiting a Shinto shrine, for the first time or even the eleventh time, a person can feel unconfident and wonder "is this really the right way to pay my respects"? This video, "Hajimete-no-Jinja – Goshuin (Shrine Seals)" explains how to receive a Goshuin and store a Goshuincho (book of seals).

Goshuin seals from an o-tera (Buddhist temple) and jinja (Shinto shrine) have different purposes. While a goshuin from an o-tera is considered a substitute for copying a sutra, from a jinja it acts as a record of paying your respects at the shrine.

When visiting a jinja, why not get a goshuin as a token of your new bond with the kami? As with an o-fuda (amulet) or o-mamori (small amulet), respectfully store your new seal. A good place is on the kamidana or a goshuin book stand.

Kamidana-no-sato is proud to offer the largest selection of Shinto household shrines (kamidana) in Japan. We want to make it easier for people to pay their respects and be shrine savvy, so we put together the video series "Hajimete-no-Jinja" (First Shinto Shrine).
