Handcrafted Resin Omamori
What is Omamori?
Omamori (お守り) are Japanese amulets commonly sold at
Shinto shrines and Buddhist temples, dedicated to particular Shinto kami
as well as Buddhist figures, and are said to provide various forms of
luck and protection.
Omamori are usually covered with brocaded silk and enclose paper or
pieces of wood with prayers written on them, which are supposed to bring
good luck to the bearer on particular occasions, tasks, or ordeals.
Omamori are also used to ward off bad luck and are often spotted on
bags, hung on cellphone straps, in cars, etc. Omamori have changed over
the years from being made mostly of paper and/or wood to being made out
of a wide variety of materials.
