Immerse yourself in a curated blend of Japanese heritage with this two-piece collection, presenting a historic guide from the Meiji era alongside a Showa-era Goshuincho, each telling its own tale of a nation's past. The "Meiji Era Travelogue with Train Timetables & Illustrated Guide to Ise," dating back to Meiji 23 (1890), serves as a portal to an age of transformation, capturing the essence of early modern Japan. This 9cm by 12.3cm booklet is a gem for its detailed depiction of Ise, complemented by the day's train schedules, revealing a society on the cusp of change. Complementing this narrative is the "Showa Era Goshuincho," a spiritual ledger steeped in tradition. Despite being from a later period, this 11.7cm by 8.7cm seal book bridges the spiritual customs preserved through time, bearing witness to the pilgrims' dedication and the continuity of Japan's religious culture. This ensemble is not just a juxtaposition of different times; it is a dialogue between the Meiji period's journey toward modernity and the Showa period's guardianship of spiritual tradition.
