Hamaya 破魔矢
Hamaya are decorative arrows blessed to ward off evil and to bring good luck and happiness. Please show respect by not playing with or actually shooting the arrow.
They are part of our Shrine’s Engimono.
Please display Engimono high on the north or west wall, or put them on a shelf in your living room or workplace.
Hamaya should be renewed after one year and the old Hamaya should be sent back to us for the Bonfire Ritual – Otakiage.
