Japanese Fortune Charm/ Amulet “OMAMORI”

Japanese act very unique way regarding religions.

Majority of people in Japan belong to either Buddhism or Shintoism organization. However, many people do not act against other regions.

As many people are blessed at a Shrine for their birth, celebrate Christmas, and go to Buddhism temple to pray.

For younger generations, religious monuments are more like historical arts.
