go with their parents to the Shinto Shrines and are taught what to do and how to behave.


It must all seem very scary and strange to them at first. Seeing a Hello Kitty Omomori would be something they would know, and so be comforting to them, that such a familiar image is there to help them feel at home at the Shrine.


I think its wonderful that they can find something of comfort at the shrines.

You can see here more hello kitty Omamori available for purchase.
