HORSE YEAR YAKUYA ARROW

GOOD LUCK AND AVERT MISFORTUNE

This arrow is intended to bring good luck and break the power of misfortune especially during the year of the Horse. If you feel like you’ve had a particularly unlucky previous year, this arrow may also help to symbolically break that cycle.

This arrow comes with a limited edition Year of the Horse Ema wishing plaque. Both the arrow’s ribbon and the Ema show the kanji for Kaiun Shōfuku 開運招福 (Inviting good fortune).  This Ema symbolizes a chance for a fresh start.

This arrow has been carefully handcrafted in Japan and includes an Ema plaque and sacred 5-color tassel.

This arrow is 38″ (97 cm) in length.

Duration: This arrow is thought to bring good luck and absorb negative energy and bad luck for one year, so it is traditional to return it to the shrine at the end of the year. In January, returned arrows are ritually burnt to symbolically separate you from any bad luck, and give you and your family a fresh start in the new year.

Each arrow has one (1) Ema. The image also shows a second picture of the ema for more detail.
