Title
Heian Jingu Shrine Omikuji-4

Description
Omikuji are pre written random fortunes written on strips of paper at Shinto shrines and Buddhist temples in Japan. A small coin offering is made to the Shrine or Temple and then the omikuji are randomly chosen from a box, hoping for the fortune to be good. The Omikuji paper strips include a general blessing which can be about health, fortune, life, etc. When the prediction is bad, it is custom to fold up the strip of paper and attach it beside other bad fortunes to a tree or a wall of metal wires. If the fortune is good, you have the option of also tying it up to increase the fortune for a greater effect, or can keep it for luck. Kyoto, Japan
