"Please note that each Omamori is unique and has slightly different grain from the picture shows, the gold plated bead may also be different" Welcome to Funfactordesign, where we bring you the essence of tradition and protection with our exquisite wood crafted Japanese Omamori-???. Each Omamori is sourced from a genuine Japanese Gosyuuinn, personally visited by us for an authentic touch. Our dedication to preserving tradition meets modern craftsmanship, as we use precision laser machines to engrave the sacred Gosyuuinn onto high-quality solid wood materials. Omamori (??/???) are Japanese amulets commonly sold at Shinto shrines and Buddhist temples, dedicated to particular Shinto kami as well as Buddhist figures, and are said to provide various forms of luck and protection. Where was the Gosyuuinn(???) from: Hakone Shrine (????, Hakone Jinja)?According to shrine tradition, Hakone-jinja was founded in 757 during the reign of Emperor K?sh?. The original shrine was at the summit of the Komagatake peak of Mount Hakone. The shrine was relocated to the shores of Lake Ashi; its current form dates to 1667. Credit for establishment is also given to Priest Mangan, for pacifying the nine-headed dragon that lived at the bottom of Lake Ashi. According to the Azuma Kagami, Minamoto no Yoritomo sought guidance and shelter from the kami at Hakone after his defeat in Battle of Ishibashiyama during the Genpei War.Upon becoming sh?gun, Yoritomo became a patron of the shrine. In the Kamakura period, the shrine was popular with samurai. This support continued through the Sengoku period. The shrine was burned down by the forces of Toyotomi Hideyoshi during the Battle of Odawara. It was reconstructed by Tokugawa Ieyasu and given a grant of 200 koku of revenue. The Tokugawa shogunate continued to support the shrine. In the system of ranked Shinto shrines, Hakone was listed in 1875 among the 3rd class of nationally significant shrines or kokuhei-sh?sha (????).
