Japanese amulet, a gift from a friend who visited a shrine in kagawa prefecture. Do you know that every shrine in Japan has their own amulet design? You won’t be able to find two exactly same design amulets in different shrines.
“Character amulets” even have names. This one is known as “Cheerful smile”. He was designed base on the image of children who is known for their pureness and innocence. Sweet as his name is, he is believed to bring happiness to his owner.
Wish that the happiness stretches on though the time span for amulet is a year only.
Thank you, my dear friend for your souvenir.
香川県にある金刀比羅宮（ことひらぐう）という神社のお守りを貰っちゃいました。
『笑顔元気くん』というお守りです。可愛いでしょ？
『純粋無垢』な子供をイメージしたキャラクターで，幸せを運んでくれるお守りらしい。
とはいえ，有効期間は一年。短いなぁ ～
あ、欲張ってはいけませんね。ごめんなさい <(_ _)><(_ _)>
あっちゃん，お土産，ありがとう ( v^-ﾟ)Thanks♪
