【About the Lucky Charm and Amulet Set】
① Lucky Hinoeuma Year Zodiac Bell
This is a clay bell depicting the zodiac animal for Reiwa 8 (2026), which is the horse (Uma/Uma).
Designed by sculptor Shozo Tominaga, it features all twelve zodiac animals anthropomorphized to bring a sense of familiarity.

② Disaster Averting and Fortune Inviting Amulet
The South Approach Torii Gate (First Torii Gate at Harajuku Entrance), which has served as the boundary of Meiji Jingu's sacred area for 100 years since its establishment in Taisho 9 (1920), welcoming many visitors, was rebuilt as a commemorative project for the 100th anniversary of its establishment in Reiwa 2 (2020).
Using the wood (Taiwan cypress) from the old South Approach Torii Gate, which had fulfilled its long-standing role, the Disaster Averting and Fortune Inviting Amulet was created with prayers to ward off all calamities and invite good fortune.
