【Nikko Taiyuin】 Nikko Toshogu Dragon God Arrow (Ryujin Hama-ya) for Protection and Good Luck Amulet

Thank you for viewing.

This is a Ryujin Hama-ya (Dragon God Exorcism Arrow), a good luck charm of the Rinzai sect, awarded at the Taiyu-in of Nikkozan Rinnoji Temple, a World Heritage site.

This is a very substantial and beautiful exorcism arrow, modeled after the arrow held in the right hand of Umarokya enshrined in the Yasha Gate of Taiyu-in.

Unlike ordinary wooden exorcism arrows, this one is made of metal (brass) with a golden sheen, making it a striking piece of interior decor for your room.
