For students working hard every day.

Tokyo Omamori Post is an independent shop, not affiliated with or endorsed by Sensoji Temple. The temple name shows where each charm was obtained.

What it means

A slim, talisman-shaped charm with the Sanskrit seed syllable that stands for Kannon in the center, sealed in clear vinyl. About 9 × 3.5 cm, with a cord for tying to a bag.

Made for everyday studying rather than one specific exam: a wish that daily effort pays off. Students, language learners and anyone working toward a certificate may like it.

Where it's from

Purchased in person at Sensoji Temple (浅草寺), Asakusa, Tokyo.

Material
Paper talisman sealed in clear vinyl, with a cord and a small bell
Shape
Slim rectangular tag, about 9 × 3.5 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
We obtain this charm from the temple after you order, so it ships from Tokyo in about 1 week.
