A small wooden road-safety plaque that mounts inside a car.
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 small wooden plate marked “traffic safety protection” (交通安全御守護), made to hang inside a car. The plate is about 11 × 3.5 cm and about 23 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.
