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

The card shape lets you keep the charm in a wallet or phone case. A practical gift for someone starting a new job or business.

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 flat card — fits in a wallet or card case.

Form

Flat card — fits in a wallet or card case

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.
