It is believed that by ringing the bell, you can receive the protection of the gods. It is popular as a good luck charm for warding off evil, preventing misfortune, and bringing good fortune. This sacred bell charm is modeled after the large bell rung during prayers at the shrine, and it contains a small bell inside that can actually be rung. At Toshogu Shrine, the Urayasu-mai (a dance with bells) is dedicated before the gods during the grand festival. I will pray for (success in life, family safety, prosperity in business, traffic safety, academic achievement, and the warding off of disasters and the bringing of good fortune) and pray for the daily peace and safety of your home.
