For opening the way to good fortune.
Tokyo Omamori Post is an independent shop, not affiliated with or endorsed by Kawasaki Daishi Temple. The temple name shows where each charm was obtained.
- What it means
A slim charm meant to encourage steady effort and open the way to good luck. The temple suggests it for people preparing for a qualification or job exam, or for members of a team who want to win.
About 2.0 × 6.0 cm, narrow enough to slide into a card slot or a book.
- Where it's from
Ordered from the official online 授与所 (charm office) of Kawasaki Daishi Temple (川崎大師), Kawasaki, Kanagawa — just across the river from Tokyo.
- Shape
- Slim tag with a pointed top, about 2 × 6 cm
- How it's traditionally kept
Traditionally an omamori is kept closed — opening it is thought to undo its purpose. Most people carry it in a bag, pocket or wallet, or keep it somewhere clean at home.
In Japan it is common, though not required, to return an omamori to a shrine or temple (not necessarily the same one) after about a year and receive a new one.
- Delivery
- Ships from Tokyo in about 1 week.
