Omamori (お守り) are small Japanese amulets that are said to provide various forms of good luck and protection. Visit any Shinto shrine or Buddhist temple in Japan and you will likely see them for sale. Omamori etiquette states that you should never, ever open the omamori – if you do, you’ll release the blessing and say ‘sayonara’ to all of that luck and protection you sought!

Our premium woven cotton Omamori are made in Japan and can be hung anywhere, be that in a car (such as around your gear shifter, roll cage or rear-view mirror) or on your person (tied to a backpack, in your phone, purse, wallet, or even in your home). Whether you believe their efficacy may be due to a higher power’s blessing, or simply placebo effect, there’s no denying their popularity all over Japan and thus they make for an extremely interesting cultural trinket.
