shrine parishioner charm; charm for shrine visitors
A protective charm or talisman given to parishioners (氏子) of a Shinto shrine, often as proof of affiliation or for blessings.
At New Year's, I received a shrine parishioner charm and prayed for safety throughout the year.
氏子 refers to the parishioner or worshipper affiliated with a shrine; 氏子札 is the charm or tag given to such a person.
Compound of 氏子 (ujiko, 'shrine parishioner') and 札 (fuda, 'tag, charm, talisman'). The exact historical origin is uncertain, but the term is associated with Shinto shrine practices.
