A traditional gift for an expectant mother.
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
In Japan, family and friends often give this kind of charm to wish a mother and baby well.
- 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. It comes as a pouch.
- Form
- Pouch
- 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
- We obtain this charm from the temple after you order, so it ships from Tokyo in about 1 week.
