Ichihara Hiroko Love Omikuji, I Want to Try It Once*
Have you heard of the Ichihara Hiroko Love Omikuji that became popular around 2016?
It’s a type of omikuji that can be drawn at shrines, featuring messages related to love. Unlike traditional fortunes that predict outcomes like "great luck," "good luck," or "bad luck," its content is quite unique.
On pure white paper, bold text delivers direct and powerful messages, along with vague and abstract phrases that seem to read your heart. It's a modern take on "unconventional omikuji."
Here's an Example of the Omikuji Content*
"Slow Down"
"Since the prince has come, I wondered what to do."
"Let’s put ourselves aside."
"People are judged by appearances."
"If you like someone, say you like them."
"Sorry, but this love is bitter."
"Let’s start together once again."
There are many more♡
Some can be interpreted positively, while others might be seen negatively—there's a variety.
Modern artist Ichihara Hiroko made this with the wish that people would accept the messages and use their own strength to move forward on a better path.
It’s a unique love omikuji that makes you want to try it at least once!*
