and
amazing collection.
ABOUT OHENRO
"Ohenro" is the pilgrimage around the island of Shikoku in Japan, walked since ancient times.
Around the year 800, the monk Kukai, who spread Buddhism in Japan, traveled to the 88 temples tied to his teachings — leaving behind a pilgrimage route unlike any other in the world.
Many faiths have their own sacred journeys — in Christianity, Judaism and Islam — but Japan's pilgrimage tradition is quite different.
The Camino de Santiago covers about 800 kilometers, but the Ohenro is tougher still — roughly 1,400 kilometers, and more than 40 days on foot.
WHY THIS NFT IS GREAT
Gathering special seals once every 60 years
These seals come from my own pilgrimage in 2016.
That year I walked the route in reverse, from Temple 88 to Temple 1 — a way said to bring ten times the usual blessing.
The next such year won't come until 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
Buddhism teaches the importance of giving to those in need.
With so much hardship in the world today — war, hunger, and conflict — I want to help by donating part of the NFT sales.
I also plan to walk the pilgrimage again and give back to Japan's pilgrimage culture.
