Hamayumi 破魔弓
Hamayumi are decorative bows paired with an arrow 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.
Hamayumi should be renewed after one year and the old Hamayumi should be sent back to us for the Bonfire Ritual – Otakiage.
