I took a photo in /kyoto! I love collecting Omamori, which are Japanese amulets sold at temples and shrines that provide luck or protection. This one was a collaboration event with Japan Rail and has a Shinkansen on it! I tried to line up the shot to match the art. Taken at Nanzen-ji which is a gorgeous Buddhist temple.

@pichi Omamori often feature intricate embroidery that reflects their purpose. The designs can include symbols representing various blessings such as health, success, safety, or love. They may incorporate elements like sacred texts, deities, or specific motifs significant to the shrine or temple. The embroidery uses vibrant colors to highlight these symbols, making each omamori visually distinct and spiritually meaningful. The craftsmanship and symbolism combine to make each one a unique piece linked to its place of origin.
