Yozan Uesugi, Daruma, prayer for success

Did you know that it is said that it is a good idea to take your fortune home with you and reread it? In fact, many temples, shrines, psychics, and other people recommend taking your fortune home with you and rereading it. This product was created so that you can take your fortune home with you and store it. This product has the famous words of Daruma and Yozan Uesugi written on the ema-shaped board that say, ``If you don't do anything, you can't do anything.'' It was created by inserting Daruma's left eye to instill the image of passing the exam and read the fortune to achieve success. On the back side, you can write the date of worship, place of worship, and desired school as a reminder. To use it, fold the omikuji lengthwise, tie the omikuji to the semicircular string at the bottom, and tie it anywhere you like. Then, when you feel like it, please read the fortune again. Key points for test takers when reading fortunes ・Do not compare with past situations: Omikuji is a message that is given once you draw it, so it is interpreted according to your situation and state of mind at that time. When rereading it, it is important to reinterpret it to fit new situations and goals. Don't get caught up in past results or messages, focus on the current situation. ・Be conscious of your own growth and change: Candidates are working hard every day to study for exams and grow. When rereading your fortune, pay attention to how much you have grown and changed. It is important to explore whether the message in the fortune is linked to your own efforts and growth, and to foster confidence and positive feelings. ・Have a positive perspective: Many of the messages in fortunes have positive elements and hope. When rereading, try to give a positive interpretation to the message. It is important to have a positive perspective in order to develop the courage to face difficulties and challenges and the confidence to succeed. ・Listen to your inner voice: The fortune is just a hint, and the final choices and actions should be decided by yourself. Listen to your inner voice and intuition when rereading the message in your fortune. It is important to follow the voice of your heart while referring to the direction and advice given by the fortune. By rereading your fortune while keeping the above points in mind, you can find guidelines for personal growth and achieving your goals. Omikuji is just one method, and the final choices and actions should be made by you, so please proceed by trusting your intuition and judgment. Illustration, calligraphy: Naomi Serada
