Nothing says Shinto shrines or Buddhist temple like paper fortunes. Many people draw paper fortune when they visit shrines or temples. Many people pay money to get information about their future. Of course, the contents of the paper fortune are vague. In most cases, I think it just encourages self-help efforts. Nevertheless, people want to draw.
The paper fortunes were also sold in this Samukawa Jinja. And there were ropes to bind the paper fortunes which were read through. Among the rest, many worshippers bought the paper fortune. The ropes looked like a curtain with paper fortunes. I thought it was a racket to sell paper fortunes. The contents were prepared preliminarily. And it was not necessary to view the circumstances of each worshipper. Watching the rope in the precinct, a man came to the place. And he added one paper fortune to the rope.
