Yes, we are offering them over there.
Gesture & etiquette
Politely point towards the general area where Goshuin are usually given, or hold up an empty hand as if holding a book.
Goshuin are not just souvenirs; they are sacred stamps. Treat the Goshuincho with respect. Be polite and quiet when receiving one.
