bell

Amulet (omamori) (a) in the shape of a gourd with a clear plastic base and pink top, a bell and a token in the shape of ancient Japanese coins (with the place-names Amanohashidate and Monju-do on one side and the word omamori on the other), attached to a synthetic purple cord. Through the clear plastic body of the gourd-shaped container can be seen two minute amulets, one golden and one silver, in the shape of frogs. The amulet is sold mounted on a card (b) which is printed with place-names, Amanohashidate and Monju-do, as well as added information on the amulet's function.
