At a shrine in Osaka ⛩️
These small paper strips are called omikuji, fortunes you draw at the shrine.
If the message feels uncertain, you tie it to a string and leave it here.
It felt very gentle, seeing so many hopes and thoughts quietly left behind.

During Mitarashi Matsuri a special kind of fortune called 'mizuura-mikuji' (水占みくじ) can be found. Blank paper omikuji (御神籤) are placed onto water...as the water soaks in the fortune is revealed.
Kifune-jinja (貴船神社) is particularly well-known for this style of omikuji.

Small 'princess' dolls act as both fortune holders and votive tablets at Ichihime-jinja. Wishes are written on the dolls and the dolls are then left in the hope these will come true.

3) PRINCESSES✨
Unusually Ichihime-jinja (市比売神社) enshrines only goddesses, and is thus considered a protector of women only.
Once popular with the palace women, it was previously nicknamed the 'Empress Shrine' (皇后御祈願所).
The shrine sells 'hime-mikuji' (姫みくじ 'fortune princesses').

Hirano-jinja's familiar is a squirrel. Here the fortune holder is in the shape of a squirrel holding a cherry blossom.
Hirano-jinja's main hall.
Hirano-jinja is famed for its cherry blossom festival, but in former times the grounds were more known for their pine trees and squirrels.

1) SQUIRRELS🐿️
Squirrels (りす/栗鼠) are the divine messengers of Hirano-jinja (平野神社). They once populated the shrine's pine forest, and thus over time became associated with the enshrined gods.
Since Edo times Hirano-jinja has become better known for its sakura trees.

Omikuji are slips of paper on which fortunes are written. Like a lottery, they are picked at random. In recent years many shrines and temples sell omikuji in cute 'holders', many in the shape of familiars and objects linked to the location.
Once read omikuji, whether good are bad, are left at the location in the hope that the gods either remove bad fortune or grant good fortune. Often people will also leave the fortune 'holders'. Here a herd of boars surrounds an out of place pigeon (clearly purchased at another shrine).
A common sight a shrines are racks of omikuji, left tied by the faithful having been read.

🐇🐒🐉FAMILIARS AND FORTUNES🐂🦊🐁
Visitors to shrines and temples for a long time have enjoyed having their fortunes determined by lucky dip, but in recent years Kyōto's familiars have helped kickstart a new craze for collecting 'omikuji' (御御籤 'sacred lots').
