Black embroidered amulet from Utsude Tenjin Shrine. This is an amulet from a shrine located in Utsude-Kozuchicho, Ashiya City, Hyogo Prefecture. I lived in Ashiya for 24 years, but moved two years ago. I completely forgot to return it. For 19 years, I have been buying this amulet for warding off evil, alternating between black and red, every year. Since it's from Utsude Kozuchi, it's likely a Kozuchi amulet (a mallet-shaped amulet). The amulet costs 1,000 yen, which is relatively expensive. It was originally 800 yen. The price increased during the COVID pandemic. - Color: Black - Design: Embroidered - Purpose: Amulet - Shrine Name: Utsude Tenjin Shrine New and unused. Those seeking perfection, please refrain from purchasing. For those who believe in it, even a little, as a ward against evil. Thank you for viewing.
