New Year's wish, Amulet, Fortune-telling at Tokyo Daijingu (Shrine)

Last month, I visited Tokyo Daijingu (Shrine) to pray for the New Year.
It is a very famous shrine in Iidabashi, Tokyo.
It is famous as a god marriage, a book mark type fortune-telling paper and amulet are very popular.

Tokyo Daijingu Torii (an archway to Shrine)

Tokyo Daijingu is Shinto shrine dedicated to the spirits of the deities whom the Japanese have worshipped since the establishment of the country. It is one of the five major shrines in Tokyo, Meiji jingu, Yasukuni jinja, Hie jinja and Tokyo daijingu.

I mentioned "Hie jinja" in the previous my blog.

Middle gate (Torii)

The Tokyo daijingu is enshrined together with the three gods of the creation that governs the work of knotting of the heaven and the earth.
It is also known as a shrine with profit in marriage, visits by people who wish for good relationships are getting more and more year by year.
There are also benefits for domestic safety, business prosperity, mischief, fortune-telling, traffic safety, academic achievement, etc.

Hall of worship

I visit this shrine every year for New Year 's visit.
I worshiped in order to ask for good health, business prosperity and good match.
I drew a bookmark type fortune-telling paper and bought an amulet of agate.

and Amulet of agate

Bookmark type fortune-telling paper 

A historically famous singer's love song was recorded, and the coloring is beautiful. It has a faint scent of flowers (wisteria) and you can use it as a bookmark after reading.
Depending on the sacred fortune-telling paper are written such as "great blessing" or "unlucky". I drew "great blessing".

Amulet of agate

Agate seems to be told that spiritual powers that exorcise evil and bring wealth and health will live. Among them, the red agate is said to give us the power to lead things to success.
It is an amulet I purchase every year. I feel that my heart will be calm with this amulet.

It also holds various events such as great calligraphy or candle workshop etc, on a regular basis.
