Omamori
are Japanese amulets (charms, talismans) commonly sold at religious sites and dedicated to particular Shinto deities as well as Buddhist figures, and are said to provide various forms of luck or protection.
== Origin and usage ==
The word ''mamori'' (守り) means protection, with ''omamori'' being the sonkeigo (honorific) form of the word, "to protect". Originally made from paper or wood, modern amulets are small items usually kept inside a brocade bag and may contain a prayer, religious inscription of invocation. ''Omamori'' are available at both Shinto shrines and Buddhist temples with few exceptions and are available for sale, regardless of one's religious affiliation.
''Omamori'' are then made sacred through the use of ritual, and are said to contain ''busshin'' (spiritual offshoots) in a Shinto context or ''kesshin'' (manifestations) in a Buddhist context.〔
While ''omamori'' are intended for temple tourists’ personal use, they are mainly viewed as a donation to the temple or shrine the person is visiting. Visitors often give ''omamori'' as a gift to another person as a physical form of well-wishing.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url=http://supermerlion.com/japanese-charms/ )〕
