A commemorative ema and goshuin designed by Kobukuro Kuroda-san of "Kugatsu Youka" have been created!✨ Heartwarming news has arrived from "Kugatsu Youka" in East Sakai!👀
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Kugatsu Youka in East Sakai has, with the cooperation of the local Hochigai Shrine,
prepared special ema and goshuin.
As it happens, there is a story from a mother who used to visit Hochigai Shrine when she moved from Harumidai to Makizukadai in third grade,
and we once again felt how deeply the shrine is rooted in Sakai.
When we consulted with Hochigai Shrine, who share this connection,
they said, “We have long known that Kugatsu Youka has been working hard to enliven the streets of Sakai. We are happy to cooperate.”
With those warm words, this initiative became a reality.
Visitors may write their wishes on the ema and dedicate them on the ema racks set up at Hochigai Shrine and at three locations within the Sakai Higashi Shopping Street.
Please come by and receive these special ema and goshuin along with your heartfelt wishes.
Details will be announced at Kugatsu Youka’s counter (@kugatsu.youka) and on their social media.
Look forward to it.
