Japanese Omamori lucky charms

The Japanese people believe that omamori is a charm that protects the holder and gives good luck. On one side is the name of the temple that produced the charm, and the other side is a blessing, usually to aid in some specific challenge that the owner needs to persevere against. These are sold generally at temples and can be hung wherever the owner needs it.
