This is a nokyo-jiku (a scroll for collecting temple stamps) used to collect goshuin (temple stamps) at each temple during the pilgrimage of the Kyoto Jusanbutsu Reijo (Kyoto Thirteen Buddhas Pilgrimage). What is a Nokyo-jiku? A nokyo-jiku is a hanging scroll used to receive goshuin at temples during a pilgrimage. It is used to collect the goshuin of each temple as a memento of the pilgrimage. After completing the pilgrimage, it is displayed at home or hung in the Buddhist altar. What is the Kyoto Jusanbutsu Reijo? The Jusanbutsu (Thirteen Buddhas) are thirteen Buddhas who preside over the memorial services from the first seven days after death to the 33rd anniversary of death. In Kyoto, there are thirteen temples that enshrine these Buddhas, and the pilgrimage that visits these temples is the "Kyoto Jusanbutsu Reijo." It is believed that visiting this pilgrimage will help to comfort the deceased. What is depicted in the image? The Thirteen Buddhas are depicted at the top. At the bottom, there are spaces to stamp the goshuin received at each temple. The names of each temple and the designation by the Reijo Association are written. Size 173.5 x 49.5 (51.5 for the bottom axis) cm This is an amateur measurement, but I hope it helps. I have cherished it, so I don't think there are any noticeable stains, but it has some creases from being rolled up for storage at home, so I have marked it as "slightly scratched or stained."
