The wooden car plaque in red brocade.
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
The larger car plaque: a wooden plate marked “traffic safety protection” (交通安全御守護) and framed in vermilion brocade with gold thread. About 14 × 5 cm, and about 30 cm long including the cord.
A suction cup on top attaches it inside a car. Please place it where it does not block your view or get in the way of driving.
- Where it's from
Purchased in person at Sensoji Temple (浅草寺), Asakusa, Tokyo.
- 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.
