Ofuda

Japanese Shinto ofuda tablets are special religious plaques which have been blessed and sanctified by a Japanese Shinto priest. Ofuda (lit "honorable plaque") are spiritual talismans used by Japanese within home altars called kamidana (aka zushi) and at home entryways to provide blessing and ward away evil. Ofuda and other luck charms collectively called omamori are commonly replaced at the start of each year as the power of these charms is thought to be only temporary and subject to diminish over time.
