Ryujin Hamaya (Dragon God's Sacred Arrow) In the Yasha Gate of the Rinnō-ji Taiyū-in Mausoleum, there is a statue of a blue-bodied Yasha called "Umarokya." This sacred arrow is derived from the golden bow and arrow held by Umarokya. This sacred arrow is engraved with a "rising dragon," which is said to bestow various blessings upon all things. Please enshrine it in your room, entrance, etc. How to Enshrine: ❶ Vertical Placement: Unlike ordinary sacred arrows, the tip of the arrow is not pointed downwards, but upwards like a dragon ascending, which is said to bring about improvement in things. ❷ Horizontal Placement: If you point the tip of the arrow towards the entrance door where people enter, it is said to prevent evil spirits from entering the house.
