------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.

[Monthly Bracelet] Capricorn ( 12/22-1/19 )
Capricorn is a legendary god whose upper body is a goat and lower body is a fish. Once upon a time, when the gods were holding a banquet near the Nile River, the monster Tupon attacked them. The gods disguised themselves as animals to escape, but one of them, the herdsman god Pahn, jumped into the Nile River with his upper body as a goat and his lower body as a fish. It is said that Zeus was so impressed by the god's resourcefulness that he adopted it as his star sign, thus creating the constellation Capricorn. (There are various theories as to whether it was quick-wittedness or whether it inadvertently became only half a goat, but as a hollyhock, I prefer the quick-witted theory.)
We blended some milky white stones in the image of a goat, and blue apatite, which is said to signify the expulsion of toxins in the area representing the fish. The slightly bluish ice larimar is skipped in between the white stones to create a harmonious whole. The inclusion of ice larimar is a little extravagant!
To be a resourceful person.
*Omamori bracelets are amulets unique to Yanaka and are made by always containing one wooden bead called a "Buddhist's wooden bead" carved by a Buddhist sculptor with a wish for the fulfillment of one's wishes. New bracelets arrive (restock) online every week.
