Identifying Goshuin 2023/9/11 05:40
Hallo to all Japan enthusiasts out there,
I have a problem identifying the origin of some goshuin. I have saved the Pics in a Dropbox file:

Can anyone assist in finding out where these goshuin are from?
Thanks a lot,
Thomas

Thank you so much. At least all the shrines could be identified, great. It seems that shrines tend to have a sort of cleaner calligraphy than the temples (where most of the goshuin seem to be almost unreadable).
I took out the photos of the already identified ones and just left the temple goshuin pics. Maybe someone else has an jdea about the missin ones?
Again thank you very much for your help :)

Hi Thomas,

the two unidentified goshuins are maybe below:

Zenkoji (one with thicker letters)
Koku Dai Bosatsu of Misen (one with thinner letters)

I need to say "Thanks a lot!" to Google Lens! lol
