About the amulet for safe delivery of baby

Contents of the amulet (1. amulet bag, 2. bell cord, 3. sacred stone, 4. description of the origin of Suitengu)


Our amulet is made by you.
When you receive the amulet, please open the white envelope first.
Inside are the following four items 1. amulet bag, 2. bell cord, 3. sacred stone, and 4. description of the origin of Suitengu.



When you open the paper envelope, you will find a sheet of sarashi, which contains hemp and straw.
It is said that if there is a knot in the straw (on the right hand side of the screen), a boy will be born, and if there is no knot, a girl will be born.
This is derived from the fact that in the old days, since the sex of the baby was not known before birth, the presence or absence of a knot was used to divine the sex of the baby.
After checking, fold the hemp and straw while still wrapped in the sara-sashi. (You may fold the hemp and straw as they are.)



Remove the two sacred stones from the sachet.



Place the straw and the gojimishi in the amulet bag and bring it with you.
When your child is born, please bury one of the stones in your garden or on a plant, and return the other to the shrine on your first shrine visit.
If you do not have a garden or a plant, please keep it at your parents' house or if you plan to build a house in the future, please keep it with you until that time.



This one, which is included in the origin of the tree, is called “alwaysji”.
It is said that if you tear it from the center of the tree and drink it during labor pain, it will lighten your delivery.
