中央の結び目が、表から見ると「口」、裏から見ると「十」を形づくっており、
「口」と「十」で「叶」という文字になるため「叶結び」と呼ばれています。
叶結びがシンプルにデザインされた御朱印帳は、店頭でも目を引きます。
これを持つと願いも叶いそうです。
The knot depicted on the front and back of this Goshuincho is called "Kanou Musubi" (Fulfilling Knot). This is a unique Japanese knotting method that has been passed down since ancient times, known for its auspicious nature and often used in rituals and as a good luck charm.
The central knot is ingeniously designed: when viewed from the front, it forms the kanji character "口" (kuchi, meaning 'mouth' or 'opening'), and from the back, it appears as "十" (ju, meaning 'ten' or 'cross'). When these two characters are combined, they create the kanji "叶" (kanae), which means "to grant" or "to fulfill" a wish – hence its name, "Kanou Musubi."
This Goshuincho, with its beautifully simple "Kanou Musubi" design, is sure to catch the eye in any store. It is believed that holding this Goshuincho may help your wishes come true.
