------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.
--------------------------
This bracelet, sized to fit in a pencil case, was created based on customer requests.
It's a small bracelet for those times when you want something close by until the very last moment, such as during exams where accessories cannot be worn on the wrist.
As you can see in the images, it cannot be worn as is.
However, after your good luck charm period is over, you can bring it back to the store to have stones added and have it remade into a regular-sized bracelet.
We've received numerous requests in-store over the years, with people saying,
"I can't wear a bracelet to the exam venue, but I want something to hold onto." but due to the time it takes for adjustments, we've had to turn down most requests.
However, on several occasions, customers who previously had their requests fulfilled have returned after finishing their exams to have their bracelets remade, and the staff and I felt a sense of joy in remaking these "tools" after their battles. This is why we are offering this limited edition.
As the theme is about facing exams and challenges, we've arranged the stones – such as fluorite, said to help circulate waste products in the brain; moskovite, for reducing physical fatigue; citrine, for stress relief; and quartz, to unlock potential –
to create a gender-neutral and timeless feel based on their effects and benefits.
