This Chrysanthemum Crest Fudo Myoo Goshuin brings authentic Japanese temple artistry straight to your collection. Sized at 200 by 148 mm, each piece is handwritten by a temple monk, making every seal a one-of-a-kind work.
The design unites two powerful symbols from Japanese tradition. Fudo Myoo, known in Sanskrit as Acalanatha, is the central deity of the Five Wisdom Kings and a wrathful manifestation of Dainichi Nyorai. Brought to Japan by the monk Kukai, he is revered across the Shingon, Tendai, and Nichiren sects, as well as in Shugendo practice. Known affectionately across Japan as "Ofudo-san," he is fierce toward evil yet gentle in guiding those who have strayed back onto the right path.
Paired with him is the chrysanthemum, long prized in ancient China not only for its beauty but as a symbol of longevity and vitality, considered the most spirited of all flowers. Together, the two motifs form a meaningful piece of sacred art worth offering a place in your home.
Since every Goshuin is made by hand, subtle variations make your piece unique. If you purchase this item alongside a dedicated Goshuin notebook, the monk can write it directly onto the book's pages. Please note that actual colors may vary slightly depending on your monitor or phone screen.
