But what exactly is Goshuin?

Goshuin refers to special stamps that one can collect at shrines and some temples in Japan in real life. These unique stamps are not just beautiful keepsakes; they embody the essence and warmth of the sacred places where they are obtained. Each stamp becomes a personal token, carrying the heartfelt blessings and stories of the priests or monks who create them. Many people in RL cherish the tradition of collecting Goshuin. Some shrines offer special stamps that are exclusively available during the first days of the New Year or on special occasions and events

Here's a bit more about Goshuin for those curious minds:

When you visit a shrine or temple in Japan, you can present a special book called a "Goshuin-cho" to the monks or priests. In return, they will inscribe the book with a unique stamp and sometimes add calligraphy with the name of the shrine, the date of the visit, and blessings. 

Now, imagine being able to experience the joy of Goshuin collecting in the virtual realm of Second Life! Thanks to the Goshuin Project , this dream is now a reality, and the best part? It's absolutely free of charge! Remember, you can do it from January 1st until January 15th!
