●What is upcycling
It is to give new added value to things and disused items that would normally be discarded, upgrade them to new products, and give them a new life. Upcycling is a keyword that should be paid attention to in order to switch from a consumer society where things are produced and consumed in large quantities to a sustainable society.

Goshuin, referred to as a ‘red seal’, serves as evidence of one’s pilgrimage to a sacred shrine or temple. It typically includes the name of the spiritual site, the deity enshrined, and the date of pilgrimage, all inscribed with ink. An environmentally sustainable goshuincho (stamp book) can be crafted by repurposing residual fabrics from kimono production, recycled paper bags, and gift wrap. Carrying your bespoke Goshuin book to each shrine and temple enriches the personal significance of your journey. We offer an exclusive experience for visitors to Japan, enriching their time spent in this unique culture.
