Senja Fuda - 3

Catalog note / 解説

"Sen-ja-fuda" (Thousand Shrine Emblem) or "Osame-fuda" are a strip of paper with one's name and other personal information which will be pasted to the walls and columns of temples by pilgrims. These labels, which testified the pilgrim had visited the temple or the shrine hundreds kilometers away, were monochrome and simple at the beginning. But they became colored and more elaborately designed as the pilgrimages became increasingly popular. Nowadays, Senjafuda are collected by hobbyists.
