- What it means
Featuring the golden dragon and Kannon from the temple’s founding story, this charm is carried while working toward an important goal.
- Where it's from
Purchased in person at Sensoji Temple (浅草寺), Asakusa, Tokyo. It comes as a brocade pouch.
- Form
- Brocade pouch
- Material
- Woven brocade fabric with a decorative knotted cord
- Shape
- Classic rectangular omamori pouch
- 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.
