Before you order

Is it genuine?

Every omamori (a Japanese amulet) is prayed over here before it is given. From the shrine, directly to you.

I'm not Shinto. Can I have one?

Holding one has nothing to do with being a believer.

Can I return it from abroad?

Returning from abroad is being prepared.
