Omikuji

Omikuji are traditional Japanese paper fortunes found at Shinto shrines and Buddhist temples. Visitors draw these slips to receive predictions about their future, covering aspects such as health, love, business, and studies. The fortunes range from very good to bad, often accompanied by advice or messages. After reading, people sometimes tie the omikuji to a designated area, like a tree or wire framework, believing it can influence the outcome or prevent bad luck. Omikuji are a cultural tradition that offers insight and reflection, blending spirituality with everyday life in Japan.
