The "Rekishi Kaido"
or
"Historical Route" Stamp Rally
A rubber stamp rally is like a scavenger hunt, in this case,
to promote different historical sites. These stamps are from
a rally to sites around Kyoto, all known for their fresh spring
water. Pictured at right is a stamp with four temples including
the Golden Pavillion and the Ryongi Rock Garden.
Below is a stamp book for this rally, shown with two stamps
from the Kiyumizu temple "Kiyumizu Dera", built
on timbers, high above the surrounding forest. The large round
stamp shows the leaves which attract tourists in the Fall
at Kiyumizu. |
