| 朋友由日本旅行返嚟, 話幫我喺明治神宮求咗道平安符.. 橫睇豎睇, 呢道符又摩登又現代, 印刷精美得似一張書籤多啲.. 同我一路以來印象中嘅(中國道家鬼畫)符, 有好大出入囉.. 請原諒我見識淺窄, 都未去過日本吖嘛我, 呵呵~~ |
| a friend came back from his trip to japan and gave me a talisman he got from the famous meiji jingu shrine.. i examine this japanese talisman and think it's very modern and commercialised, the perfect printing makes it looks more like bookmark to me.. it's really different from the chinese style taoism hand-scribbled talisman rooted in my mind.. please pardon my ignorance, cos i've not been to japan before mah, haha~~ |

Told ya I'll be resting in my nest during weekend. Recharge my inner qi to come back on Monday, yeah!
DeleteGive chance to other to climb on my head.
I am a firm believer of talismans and believe that it helps one in whatever they wish, so the relevant talisman has to be carried.
ReplyDeleteAiyah, everything pre-printed already there.
ReplyDeleteSome more, can buy them at vending machines!
Japan mah!
LOL
Sure boh? Talisman can buy from vending machines?????
DeleteTalisman is supposed to be blessed or chanted by monks.
Eh, can get the talisman from vendor machine?? Then the monks stay inside the machine ka? Wakakakaka
DeleteYou didn't state out what this Japanese talisman could bless you with. Money, luck, success, career, studies or wife?
ReplyDeleteYalor.
DeleteMaybe it's all the above.
xD

ReplyDeleteHad a feeling you mentioned me!
DeleteSo had to come over quickly and check what's the fuss about!
LOL
I will be visiting Japan soon, so I must visit all their vending machines too! They probably sell everything from talisman, clothes to handphones! LOL
ReplyDeleteWhoah!
DeletePeople go to Japan left and right nowadays.
Used to be people complain that it's hard to visit Japan.
Now - everyone can fly to Japan, it seems.
Jealous! xD
TM

他们的神社入门票也是这样的，呵呵呵。。。
ReplyDeletehmm I've never head of such thing or word as talisman. Was it really just a bookmark?
ReplyDeleteRad, it's not a bookmark (well, you can opt it for bookmark). It's a piece of paper chanted by monk for blessing in life, money, love, etc.
Deleteeven nowadays buddha pictures are printed on a card, with calendar at the back. put it in your wallet, use it as a calendar and buddha will bless you.
ReplyDeleteLatest: Of Balloons and Memes
most things are commercialized nowadays, but if we believe and have faith in it, it should be good!
ReplyDeletehi SK... sorry for my late come back... .. I'm sure I have missed a lot here.. I'm so sorry
ReplyDeleteoh what is a Talisman by the way? Is it some sort of an amulet to protect you from evil spirits or bad luck?
ReplyDeleteSame here... never been to Japan nor any countries ... so I have no idea about that at all hehe
ReplyDeleteSorry again for my late visit my friend .. wishing you a great day ahead and happy blogging!
ReplyDeleteSomehow I still prefer talisman in Chinese calligraphy - look more 'real' to me to ward off misfortune. Printed version looks kinda fake.
ReplyDeleteYou've got a japanese talisman, do you think the japanese gods will come to our country here for protection? Just wondering :p
ReplyDeleteWe don't pray to japanese god... er, do they share the same gods as we Chinese?
oh well, different kind of drawing goddess and superb different type of culture compare with Buddhist :/
DeleteBut I think the Main God is the same @@
去到日本都记得带平安符回来给你，
ReplyDelete都算不错的咯~~
这个符看起来真的很精致，日本的东西都很漂亮。
幾精美啊 （呢個商品）！
ReplyDeleteeh why japanese word? the talisman from japan? whoa :D
ReplyDeletework in Malaysia ka? lol
Blessing all the way from other country was not very easy :P unless ter-ngam "they" got send some "guardian" in Malaysia la lol :X
ReplyDeleteLOL, I thought you say the Main God is the same?
Deletewhy very modern? the talisman quality printed on quality board? lol :P
ReplyDeletenormal talisman is only paper and cannot kena water lo :/
SK, it sure will "popi" you in your coming exams and all future undertakings.
ReplyDelete你求姻缘签吖？呵呵呵~~~~
ReplyDelete虽然摩登又現代，印刷精美得似一張書籤多啲，都美观过同我地一路以來印象中嘅中國道家鬼畫符，果啲鬼畫符要神通同天眼先至睇得明架！呵呵呵~~~
