------Introduction-------
Omamori is an amulet that is held in Japan when you want to make a wish or ward off bad luck. Omamori are sold at various places, including shrines and temples, and are held by people who entrust their wishes to them. Some people believe that when a charm is broken or lost, it is a sign that a wish will come true or that bad luck will be avoided.
Hiiragi's bracelet is a talisman that always contains one zelkova bead carved by a Buddhist sculptor to pray for the fulfillment of wishes and warding off evil spirits. Please enjoy the amulet that comes close to your wishes.

Leo ( 7/23 - 8/22 )
Babylonia flourished in the 4th millennium BC, the most ancient period in the world. The cluster of stars around what is now the constellation of Leo was considered to be a lion, and the cluster of stars was revered as symbolising a king. As in the image of the symbol of a king, it seems to represent power and courage, but surprisingly it also represents 'loyalty' in many places.
Babylonia, in Mesopotamia (now Arabia), was one of the cradles of ancient civilisation, 4,000 years ago, when the Mesopotamian alphabet was just barely formed. The creativity of applying a star to something at that time is also astonishing, but the 12 constellations were probably not yet as they are now, so even in those times I feel the inevitability of its existence, which made me think that the shape of that star was a lion.
The colours are mainly crisp greens and golds, inspired by the early summer breezes of the savannah.

＊It is okay if it gets wet in daily life, but please be careful not to soak it in water for a long time as it may cause the wood to crack.
＊Omamori bracelets are delivered with the bracelet in a flat box.
A cushion box for the cube is available for a fee. This is recommended for gifts, etc. You can buy one per bracelet.
＊You may purchase up to two Omamori bracelets of the same design.
＊Wearability may vary depending on the design. For the same inner circumference, if many large beads are used, the bracelet may feel a little tighter, and if many small beads are used, the bracelet may feel a little looser.
