Found this while sorting through my husband's family home, which is over 150 years old. It appears to be a member badge (Dāin-shō) from a group. The badge features Kongōbu-ji Temple. The Dāin-shō is not just a badge; it's a special item filled with memories of worship and merit. Memories: Evokes memories of the pilgrimage experience. Merit: Embodies the experience at the sacred site. (Excerpt from the internet) The pin is missing from the Dāin-shō. There is no other damage, but there is some age-related deterioration. Also, a small badge, which also seems to be related to Mount Kōya, is available, so I would appreciate it if you would consider purchasing it together. The wooden box is also old, and the inside edge is damaged. The family name is written on the back, so it has been painted white for the listing. Please consider. Anonymous shipping will be used.
