“Gokakuchen” is a gift to show support to students taking entrance exams. Goukakuchen is a type of Baumkuchen with the word “Goukaku”
incorporated into its name, which is considered a lucky charm. Manufactured by Chiba Prefecture’s popular Baumkuchen specialty shop “Sennen no Ki”, each one is carefully branded with a “prayer for passing the exam” before being delivered. The “Prayer for Success” branding iron was created based on the original calligraphy by a calligrapher who won the highest award at a calligraphy exhibition. We pray for the success of the students taking the entrance exams, with the power of the calligraphy that “won” the top spot in the
calligraphy exhibition. Also included is a paper tag based on the same calligraphy with a prayer for passing the exam. The paper bills were given a prayer for passing the exam at Hakken Hachiman Shrine (Kisarazu City, Chiba Prefecture), which is associated with Minamoto no Yoritomo. You can bring it to the venue as a lucky charm on the day of the exam. This product allows families to send a feeling of support to children who are studying hard for entrance exams. You can share it with your family around the exam date and enjoy it in hopes of passing the exam.
