Japanese Good Luck Charms

What Are Japanese “Engimono” (Good Luck Charms)?
“Engimono” are traditional Japanese lucky items believed to bring good fortune, health, prosperity in business, or family safety. Deeply rooted in Japanese customs and spirituality, they are commonly seen at shrines, temples, during New Year’s celebrations, and special occasions.
Popular types of engimono include:
Maneki-neko (Beckoning Cat): Brings business success and financial luck
Daruma Doll: Used to make wishes or set goals
Kumade (Decorative Rake): Symbolizes “raking in” good fortune
Omamori (Protective Amulets): Sold at shrines/temples for protection and blessings
Cranes and Turtles: Symbols of longevity and peace
These items are more than decorations—they embody people’s hopes, gratitude, and spiritual connection to tradition.
