#Omamori

[crownorclover]

the demo for OMAMORI : a mp100 fangame is now live on itch.io!

we're celebrating reigen's birthday with a preview of a project that @kreauxlighe/jace and i have been working on since april! jace has been working on the writing and programming, and i am providing the art and visual assets.

OMAMORI is a serirei focused kinetic visual novel. you are a spirit haunting an omamori who helps people that receive it specifically with their struggles in love and romance. one day, your omamori is given to reigen arataka. as you take your time observing this apparent conman while he works it becomes clear there is something there between him and his deputy director, serizawa katsuya, although neither one seem ready to confess. get to know them and, with the aide of the people (and spirit?) in their lives, help them take that next step.

the play time for the demo is 15-20 minutes, depending on your reading speed (and how long you take typing different names into the player name slot). we have more planned features and many more chapters to come, so there's a lot to look forward to! you can follow the game page on itch.io for occasional devlog updates in the future.

Guys, I've done it. I've found the most insane piece of Nero swag ever made. Anyone have any idea what this omamori's for, because my only guesses at the moment are based on visual cues (I'm going with either academic success or he's here to isekai you (and frankly both of these options are funny to me)).

But also, seriously, all the fantastic, fabulous mechs and vehicles FFXIV has to offer... and they put him in a little red car. Not even a flashy sports car, just like... office worker who wanted something sensible then had a midlife crisis and painted his car red. Nero wtf.

Fukuro mono (嚢物) purses and bags, chart by Nadeshico Rin.

Kimono don’t have pocket in the Western sense, and the easiest way of carrying something is to tuck it into your tamoto (袂, dangling pocket-like part of a kimono sleeve). But people also used many types of pouchesand cases to carry their trinkets, here are some which were used by Edo period city-deller women:

Kakemamori (懸守) amulet case, made from a cylindrical pouch slipped on a cord. In Middle Age, those pouches were put around the neck by pilgrims, mostly women, to carry gofu (talisman). Temples and sanctuaries sold amulets to facilitate childbirth, and counteract menstruation impurity (月水を穢), which was (still is nowadays) a big taboo in Japanese society. Other amulets existed, for example to protect one’s safety, or to ward off disasters. Kakemamori went through style changes but their use remained late into Meiji era.

Sage tabako ire (提げ煙草入れ) hanging tobacco pouch, put on by tucking the netsuke (根付 decorative toggle) into the obi, and adjusted with ojime (緒締, decorative closing bead). They were paired with kiseru 煙管 pipes, put away in tsutsu 筒 cases. Those pouches were used by men and women alike.

Tamoto otoshi (袂落とし) pocket sleeve pouches, put on around the neck over the underlayer, and accessed through the kimono sleeves openings. Several types existed, like kamiire ( 紙入れ small handbag, wallet), or straps holding handy tenugui towels. Those convenient pouches were used by men and women alike.

Kagami ire (鏡入れ) make-up pouch, often decorated with a hana kusari (華鎖, dangling charm), and holding several portable items: hake (刷毛, make-up brush), beni fude  (紅筆, lipstick brush​), beni ita (紅板, lipstick palette, the green hue is the mark of true safflower), oshiroi (白粉, face powder), tekagami (手鏡, handmirror), etc. Tbh, I found hard to distinguish modern kagamiire from hakoseko without being able to open them and check to content, especially as they can be a bit of both ^^;

Hakoseko (箱迫) women billfold-like clutch, slipped into the futokoro (bosom collar fold when a kimono is worn, just above a woman obi). Made from heavily decorated brocade, those were first used by women of the samurai class to carry kaishi (懐紙, tissue paper) and other small items like birabira kanzashi (びらびら簪, dangling hairpin) or nioi fukuro (匂い袋, perfume bag). Nowadays, those are mainly used for wedding or shichigosan attires.

Where to receive Juyohin (sacred items for home worship) overseas

It can be difficult for practitioners of Shinto who live far from a shrine, especially when unable to receive the sacred items used for home worship. Fortunately there are shrines overseas that can support and so I have compiled a list below. If you know of any other shrines, please contact me at livingwithkami@gmail.com

(Total 6 shrines) as of May 5th, 2023:

Gasshodo:

 https://gasshodo.com/product-category/omamori-ofuda/

This site is connected to a Nichiren Shu Buddhist Temple. It is maintained by a layperson volunteer. It is a good resource for acquiring legitimate items for Shinbutsu-related worship - Ofuda, Omamori, Altar tools, including an inexpensive Ofuda stand, and even Engimono like Ema. However, most of these items will need to be used in the proper Buddhist context – it is best to email to ask

Shrine Space:

https://www.etsy.com/shop/shrinespace/?etsrc=sdt

This is primarily a shop of handmade altar items, but there are also Juyohin available as the owner is an ordained Zen Buddhist priest.

Having finally learned that Google translate can be used on images, I present my image collection of FFXIV omamori that I've found (thus far) and been able to translate. (Because I find fandom omamori absolutely delightful for whatever reason.)

Also, shout-out to Nero and to Emet-selch for having omamori that defy Google's ability to translate. (Nero's is for safe travel, no idea what Emet's is for).
