Entrance of\u00a0Anahachimangu Shrine<\/p><\/div>\n

Located right opposite Toyama campus just a few minutes walk from Waseda campus, most Wasedians or Waseda students would probably have seen the Anahachimangu Shrine before. Every year, for a limited period, the shrine gives out the return-of-spring omamori <\/em>(Japanese charms or amulets) to visitors. Since December 22 last year, they have been doing so and will be giving out omamori<\/em> until February 3, 2019.<\/p>\n

Besides its\u00a0literal meaning, the \u201creturn-of-spring\u201d is often used as an analogy for the favorable return of good luck (as in \u201cspring\u201d) after bad fortune (as in \u201cwinter solstice\u201d). As such, the return-of-spring omamori<\/em> is particularly well known among people working in banks and the financial sector because it is said to bring good luck and fortune to businesses as a new year begins. Of course, there are also people who visit the Anahachimangu Shrine to simply pray for the wellness and health of themselves and the people around them.<\/p>\n
