Limited Edition Goshuin Featuring RODY at Gofusan Kumano Shrine Now Available

Experience the Unique Collaboration of Gofusan Kumano Shrine and RODY

The Gofusan Kumano Shrine, located in Katsushika Ward, Tokyo, has embarked on a delightful collaboration with RODY, the world's cutest balance ball toy inspired by horses. This special project offers a limited edition Goshuin, or spiritual seal, with a unique design dedicated to the upcoming Year of the Horse in 2026. The theme of this limited edition Goshuin is "Enman Seijyu," which translates to a wish for fulfillment and completion in all endeavors.

A Combination of Tradition and Playfulness

The design creatively merges the shrine's essence and the fun spirit of RODY. The round shape of RODY and the auspicious connotation of the word “uma” in Japanese, which means horse, are combined to symbolize a year where everything turns out round and well. This playful yet meaningful concept captures the hearts of both devotees of the shrine and fans of RODY, making it a perfect keepsake for the unique collaboration.

Thanks to the tremendous interest and support from visitors, the initial supply of the limited Goshuin has quickly run out. In response to overwhelming demand, the shrine has decided to produce additional copies so that as many people as possible can obtain this special item.

Historical Significance of Gofusan Kumano Shrine

Founded during the Heian period, Gofusan Kumano Shrine is one of the oldest shrines in the Katsushika area, believed to have been established during the reign of Emperor Ichijo. Along with its rich history, the shrine is also notable for caring for ponies, which are considered sacred transports for deities, further enhancing the collaboration with RODY. The unique background of Gofusan Kumano Shrine combined with RODY's playful nature results in an extraordinary initiative that celebrates both tradition and modern culture.
