My Favorite Lucky Charms of Fushimi Inari Taisha

Lucky Charms of Fushimi-Inari-Taisha

The above is a photo of my favorite cell-phone charms.

I found these lucky charms about a year or two ago at the shrine office of 伏見稲荷大社(Fushimi-Inari-Taisha).

These charms are fashioned after the sacred tools that the foxes of the shrine's family have.

Too much cuteness...

I don't usually buy charms, but I made an impulse buy. I love the foxes of the shrine, so I'm happy to have the miniature version of sacred tools they have.

By the way, I replace portable good-luck charms after six months to a year. For 御札(Ofuda, a vertical talisman made of wood or paper), it is one year.

I plan to buy the same charms again in half a year...:-)
