Have you heard of "Meoto Mamori"? ♡

This cute talisman with hakama and shiromuku motifs is called "Meoto Mamori" (夫婦守). Isn't it adorable?＊

As the name suggests, Meoto Mamori is a talisman wishing for "husbands and wives to live happily together forever."＊

You can purchase "Meoto Mamori" at Tsubaki Ōkami Shrine ♡

This lovely talisman, "Meoto Mamori," can be bought at Tsubaki Ōkami Shrine located in Suzuka City, Mie Prefecture. The shrine enshrines Amanouzume no Mikoto (天之鈿女命), the deity of matchmaking and marital harmony, and is famous as a shrine for fulfilling romantic wishes. ♡

Many people buy this "Meoto Mamori" together as a couple or gift it to friends as a wedding present. ♡

Perfect for Display at the Welcome Space ♡

The couple design Meoto Mamori is simply too cute, making it a popular choice for brides-to-be who display it in their welcome space. It's also perfect for a traditional Japanese wedding! ♡

If you think it's a bit too much to display such an important talisman, taking a photo of it and printing it out can be a great way to decorate your welcome board! ♩

"Meoto Mamori" Isn't Only Found at Tsubaki Ōkami Shrine ♡

It seems that "Takami Shrine" in Kitakyushu City, Fukuoka Prefecture also offers a couple's talisman with the hakama and shiromuku motifs. It is said to be a limited edition for couples who hold their ceremony there.＊

While it's not the same hakama and shiromuku motif, there is also a couple's talisman sold at Kirishima Shrine in Kagoshima Prefecture. I want to have both the blue and red cute couple's talismans with my husband! ♡

Kirishima Shrine is famous as the site where Sakamoto Ryoma and his wife Oryo visited for Japan's first honeymoon. With the couple's power as an ideal pair, we can surely be happy together forever! ♩

There Are Many Other Talismans to Buy as a Pair ♡

Even if it's not Meoto Mamori, there are plenty of other talismans sold in pairs. It might be a good idea to buy some when you visit during your travels! ♡

1. "Futari no Ai" at Jishu Shrine in Kyoto ♡

At Jishu Shrine in Higashiyama-ku, Kyoto, there is a talisman called "Futari no Ai" (ふたりの愛). I want to buy this and be happy forever! ♩

2. Enmusubi Omamori at Senkōji in Onomichi ♡

The Enmusubi Omamori sold at Senkōji in Onomichi, Hiroshima Prefecture is said to pray for couples to live happily together. The female version comes with a red string and features a "kanzashi" (hairpin) bound with a love letter, while the male version with a white string contains "kobans" (gold coins) and rice.＊

I Want to Stay in Harmonious Marriage for Years to Come ♡

I introduced the "Meoto Mamori" with the hakama and shiromuku motifs. If you go to pay your respects as a couple and carry them together, it seems like you'll be able to stay close forever! ♡

It seems that there are many other pair talismans across the country. Why not check out a nearby shrine dedicated to love gods? ♡
