This is a Buddhist amulet, the "Senmai-dori" (Thousand-Sheet Pass) from To-ji Temple in Kyoto. It originated from numerous legends of Kobo Daishi Kukai, who wrote protective charms and floated them in water, then had the sick drink the blessed water (spiritual water) to cure their illnesses. By floating a single sheet of the thin Senmai-dori paper on a cup of water and chanting "Namu Daishi Henjo Kongo" three times, it is believed to remove various illnesses, promote good health, fulfill wishes, and ensure safe childbirth. This is a new item. Thank you. - Contents: Amulet - Religion: Buddhism - Issuer: To-ji Temple, Kyoto Thank you for viewing.
