ABOUT OHENRO
"Ohenro" refers to the pilgrimage around the Shikoku region in Japan that has been passed down since ancient times.
Around the year 800 AD, Kukai, who spread Buddhism in Japan, embarked on a grand pilgrimage to visit 88 temples associated with his teachings, making it an unparalleled journey of temple pilgrimage in the world.
While various religions around the world have their own sacred pilgrimages such as in Christianity, Judaism, and Islam, the pilgrimage tradition in Japan is somewhat unique.
While the Camino de Santiago also involves walking a long distance of about 800 kilometers, the Ohenro pilgrimage is known for its rigorous nature, spanning approximately 1400 kilometers and taking over 40 days to complete.
WHY THIS NFT IS GREAT
Gathering special seals once every 60 years
This NFT work (seals) holds significance from my pilgrimage in 2016.
By walking the pilgrimage in reverse order (from Temple 88 to Temple 1) during this year, it is said to bring ten times the usual blessings.
By the way, the next special year is in the distant future of 2076.
Every goshuin is handwritten and one of a kind
A complete collection of all 88 temple goshuin, plus extras. Goshuin are never printed — each one is hand-brushed by a temple priest, so no two are exactly alike. Every piece here is a 1-of-1 image of an actual seal received during the 2016 walking pilgrimage.
The meaning behind collecting goshuin
For centuries, pilgrims have collected goshuin as proof of visiting each temple and as a personal keepsake of the journey. Many walkers describe the Shikoku pilgrimage as one of the most meaningful experiences of their lives. This collection preserves that tradition — the real seals gathered across all 88 temples in 2016 — so the record of the journey can be kept and shared.
Part of the NFT sales will be used for donations
The teachings of Buddhism emphasize the idea of giving alms to help those in need.
In our world today, issues like the war in Ukraine, hunger, and conflicts persist.
I aim to contribute to these problems by donating a portion of the sales.
Furthermore, I intend to undertake the pilgrimage once again and contribute to the pilgrimage culture in Japan.
