This summer, the Hanafusa family—Geiko Kiktsuru, Geiko Kikumaru, Maiko Kikushino, and Maiko Kikuyae—took part in a special journey through Second Life, collecting Goshuin from the SL's most sacred shrines and temples.
For those unfamiliar, Goshuin are unique stamps, often with beautiful calligraphy, that are given at temples and shrines to commemorate a visit. Each stamp is a piece of art, representing the spiritual significance of the place. The journey through Second Life's sites was made even more meaningful with the presence of the Hanafusa family, who brought their deep understanding of Kyoto's traditions and culture.
Every stop brought a new experience—whether it was a calm mountain shrine or a bustling temple in the heart of the sim. Each Goshuin collected had its own distinct design and blessing, a reflection of the unique energy of the location.
