Sacred Horse Carrying Prayers to the Gods
Irugi Shrine, located in Shinagawa, Tokyo, offers a special embossed foil goshuin featuring a sacred horse, available from the New Year season.
In Japanese tradition, horses are believed to serve as divine messengers, carrying people’s prayers to the gods.
This beautifully designed goshuin depicts a graceful white horse adorned with ceremonial ornaments, symbolizing purity, devotion, and the fulfillment of wishes.
Gold foil and embossed printing create a refined three-dimensional texture, allowing the details of the horse, floral motifs, and traditional patterns to gently rise from the paper.
Subtle golden accents shimmer depending on the light, offering a sensory experience that engages both sight and touch.
Elegant yet calming, this goshuin is a meaningful keepsake that reflects Japanese spirituality, craftsmanship, and the quiet beauty of Shinto culture.
A perfect memento for the New Year, and a special reminder of prayers entrusted to the gods.
