August 8, Reiwa 8 (2026)  —
A special day when the auspicious number “8,” symbolizing prosperity, appears three times.

To commemorate the Grand Opening, we are offering the Auspicious Goshuin “Yae (Triple Eight) Set,” featuring a “Horse” Goshuin specially designed for the occasion, together with a surprise Goshuin selected at random.

One “Horse” Goshuin dated August 8, Reiwa 8 (2026) will be prepared for each set.
(Reiwa: the current Japanese era name, started in 2019)

 

Furthermore…

On this highly auspicious “Triple Eight” day, where the number 8 overlaps in layers,
one Goshuin from the most auspicious day of the year, “Tensha Day” (July 19), will also be included at random.

In response to many requests asking,
“Will past Goshuin no longer be available?”
we are pleased to include one Auspicious Goshuin bearing the date July 19 (Tensha Day) and its special seal.

Which one you receive is left to fate.
The Goshuin that arrives carries a message meant for you.

 

【🐉 If you receive the Dragon】

The dragon ascending to the heavens symbolizes a powerful rise in fortune.
This piece, inscribed in gold with “Increase in Financial Fortune,” offers support at decisive moments and in new challenges.
When the dragon arrives, move forward without hesitation.
May your wishes grow a thousandfold through the power of Tensha-nichi.🙏

 

【🐎 If you receive the Horse

The galloping horse is an auspicious creature that carries the fortune of things going smoothly.
This piece grants the strength to keep moving forward without stopping.
Break through stagnation and welcome good news rushing your way — receive this light and swift fortune together with the protection of Tensha-nichi.🙏

 

【🐲✨ If you receive a Special Piece】

This is a rare Goshuin hand-written in gold ink, featuring the date August 8, Reiwa 8 (2026) — the Triple Eight day.

The dragon, symbolizing rising fortune, is inscribed with “Increase in Financial Luck.”
Each piece is hand-written, making it extremely limited and rarely encountered.
A truly special connection — cherish the sign of great fortune unfolding in the latter half of the year. 🙏



Which Goshuin finds its way to you is guided by fate.

Seal of Chichibu Grand Opening


Sanskrit seal "An"

A sacred seal with Sanskrit characters written inside a jewel.
Sanskrit is a writing system that originated in ancient India, and each character represents the power of Buddha.


Goshuin is a way to connect with gods and Buddhas

A goshuin is a seal (stamp) that you receive when you visit a shrine or temple, and it also lists the date of your visit and the name of the shrine or temple.
Originally it was a receipt for submitting a copy of a sutra, but now it is widely accepted as proof of worship.
You can keep a record of your visits by collecting them in a special notebook called a goshuincho.
This is a symbol of the faith of the worshippers and has the important meaning of connecting them with the gods and Buddhas.


The red seal is a handprint to paradise

The origin of goshuin is said to date back to the Heian period.
The origin of the goshuin is said to be that at that time, temples would give them to worshippers as proof that they had dedicated a sutra (a copy of a sutra).
The goshuin stamps are stamped with the name of the temple and the seal of the principal image, and are treasured as a memento of worship and proof of faith.

The goshuincho is also said to be a "handprint to paradise."
It is said that if you show your goshuin at Enma's judgment hall, you will be able to pray for going to paradise.

For this reason, in some areas, when a person dies, a goshuincho (stamp book) is placed in the coffin.


Is there any blessing to mailing it?

The goshuin stamps you receive by mail also reflect your own faith.

Of course, it's best to actually visit the shrine.
However, there are some people who find it difficult to come due to various circumstances.

In such cases, you can deepen your connection with the gods and Buddhas even if you are far away by applying for a goshuin by mail.
When you receive a goshuin stamp that has been written with love at a temple or shrine, it is important to offer a prayer in your heart.

It is not the goshuin itself that brings good fortune, but the heart that offers prayer that brings good fortune.


Continuing from the Edo period Like a substitute

A daisan is when someone visits a shrine or temple on behalf of someone who is unable to make the pilgrimage due to old age, illness, or busy schedule.
This tradition has continued since the Edo period.

The same applies to receiving a goshuin by mail.
At Joraku-ji Temple, the head priest and all the staff will pray wholeheartedly for those who are unable to visit, so please rest assured.
