Brand new
Shinto omamori designed to provide spiritual aid in maintaining good health and to speed recovery from illness and disease. This particular type of
omamori is called
hamaya in Japanese which translates as 'demon-breaking arrow'.
Hamaya arrows are commonly purchased at new year by visitors to
Shinto shrines who use the arrows to ward away evil forces and bring good fortune into their life. This small
hamaya is sized for tabletop display and is mounted on a special wooden plaque and stand. Japanese writing on the plaque and arrow read
Shizuoka-ken Gokoku jinja kanai hamaya omamori which translates as 'Shizuoka prefecture
Gokoku shrine good health protector arrow'.
