LUCK

After new year's day, I have received the second package from my father in law.
This time, they were Omamori.

Omamori are small lucky charm sachets contained paper with inscriptions to protect us from bad luck. Actually, I never checked inside of Omamori. So it could be a some kind of objects?
I don't want to make Omamori mad because of my rude behavior such as peeking inside of it. By the way, you can buy those at temples and shrines.

Talking about luck, I didn't know what "knocking on wood" meant before.
Being in this industry, many people have knocked on wood during conversations in front of me.

One time a guy at a diamond company knocked on every wood at his office after I talked about my business and apartment that I wanted. He told me to do the same thing. I didn't know what was happening, but I just followed his instruction.

I finally found out about what that was about a few months ago. It was to ward off tempted fate.

I hope my jewelry will be your Omamori!
