A small hanging charm for everyday good fortune.
Tokyo Omamori Post is an independent shop, not affiliated with or endorsed by Meiji Jingu Shrine. The temple name shows where each charm was obtained.
- What it means
The netsuke style makes it easy to carry on a bag or keys.
- Where it's from
Purchased in person at Meiji Jingu Shrine (明治神宮), Harajuku, Tokyo. It comes as a netsuke type.
- Form
- Netsuke type
- 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.
