A road-safety charm with a bell and tassel, made to hang in 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 paper charm marked “Asakusa Kannon traffic safety,” with a small bell and a five-colored cord hanging below. It is about 6 × 4 cm for the charm itself and roughly 20 cm long with the cord.
A suction cup on top lets you hang 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.
