A ring-style road-safety charm.
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
A ring-shaped road-safety charm that reflects light when it is hit by a headlight or flashlight in the dark, so it is useful as well as symbolic. It is made to loop onto a bicycle, a stroller or a motorcycle.
The ring is about 13.1 cm across on the inside.
- 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.
- 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.
