〔Kyoto〕The Charms of Shimogamo Shrine Are Adorable ♡
Have you ever visited the UNESCO World Heritage Site, Shimogamo Shrine?
Shimogamo Shrine, officially known as Kamo Miko Shrine, is the fifth oldest shrine in Japan, boasting a prestigious history.
It is said to bring benefits related to women, such as matchmaking, safe childbirth, and childcare ♡
The shrine grounds feature fun attractions, such as a mirror ema where you can draw on your face using your own makeup tools, making it an enjoyable place to visit even as a tourist!
It's a lovely shrine to visit not just with your husband, but also with friends, mothers, or sisters!
At Shimogamo Shrine, you'll find uniquely adorable charms that are quite different from those found at other shrines!
Let me introduce the popular charm among brides: the Hime Mamori ♩
Ta-da! It’s called Hime Mamori! ♡
This popular and eye-catching charm from Shimogamo Shrine is the Hime Mamori (姫守り).
It enshrines the guardian deity of women’s fortunes and is said to possess the power to fulfill the hidden wishes of women. ♡
With soft colors like orange and green featuring floral designs, don't you think they are so cute?
The pink cord and the embroidered "Hime Mamori" in gold are also lovely ♡
No two designs are said to be the same!
Additionally, what makes the Hime Mamori popular, aside from its cuteness,
is that there isn't a single charm with the same design!
Take a look at this photo! ♡
Can you see how the colors and patterns differ from end to end of the charms in the picture???
You can find a design that suits your taste and wear a one-of-a-kind charm! ♡
Moreover, the Hime Mamori is made from chirimen fabric, which makes it soft and pleasant to the touch, adding to its charm.
Since it’s crafted from a material used for kimonos and furoshiki cloths, it also has a luxurious feel.
It truly is a one-of-a-kind charm filled with allure!
The men’s charm, called Hikomamori, is made of denim fabric!
In contrast to the women’s Hime Mamori, the male version is the Hikomamori (彦守り).
Surprisingly, it's made from denim fabric...!
A denim charm is incredibly rare and very stylish ♩
By the way, the Hikomamori is available in just one design featuring two leaves.
If you gift it to your partner, he’ll likely say, "I've never seen anything like this,” and cherish it! ♡
