I recently visited Meiji Jingu Shrine and received this amulet and talisman, complete with a pouch. The talisman is meant to be kept close to you at all times, offering the protection of the gods. It is imbued with the divine virtue of warding off evil and bringing good fortune. Size: Approximately 7.5cm x 2.7cm The pouch will be folded in thirds for shipping.
