Following aJapanese tradition pilgrims are given a stamp book or a scroll and at each temple, it is submitted to an office, where the temple's official stamps are placed in red over the calligraphy of a monk or volunteer. This becomes a treasured keepsake; some even consider it to have "magic" powers.
