Omikuji is a traditional way of predicting one’s fortune in Japan by picking out a piece of paper from an Omikuji box, often found in Shrines and Temples in Japan. Each piece of paper has detailed fortunes written on them, predicting one’s fortune overall and in specific aspects of life, such as love, work and education. Omikuji also contains life advice from god to improve one’s luck or to prevent bad fortunes. While its predictions should not be taken too seriously, Omikuji is a way of fortune-telling that has been loved by many in Japan for a long time and has increased its popularity with tourists over the years. My Omikuji-inspired fortune animals give you the taste of what it’s like to draw an Omikuji without having to travel to Japan!
