Tokyo Omamori Post is an independent shop, not affiliated with or endorsed by Zojoji Temple. The temple name shows where each charm was obtained.
- What it means
Often kept in a car or a travel bag to wish for a safe journey.
- Where it's from
Ordered from the official online 授与所 (charm office) of Zojoji Temple (増上寺), Shiba, Tokyo — at the foot of Tokyo Tower. It comes as a brocade pouch (light blue).
- Form
- Brocade pouch (light blue)
- 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.
