Pay no mind to the studio photos.

Mizore Ito (Misery-chan) - 御札

御札 - Ofuda (Talisman/Charm)

My character Mizore Ito (Misery-chan)

I was inspired by the song Title Screen / Purple Diary by Ayako Toyoda while working on this piece.

Mizore's Toyhouse Profile

The Supernatural Misadventures of Misery-chan (Spooky Music)

This weekend I acquired what I believe is a Shinto Ofuda or Gofu (talisman wall scroll for a home shrine)

I found it at a thrift store and don't know much about Shinto. I read that I should put it on an East- or south-facing wall to receive sunlight.

(ignore the blur my hands were shaking during photo)

Information Here

Primary, are in bold text. Meaning I will say these names when I am doing a quick prayer or something to that effect. The Kami are represented by these three ofuda お札

⛩️Amaterasu-Ōmikami 天照大御神 |Center

All Amaterasu-Ōmikami Ofuda ("Jingū Taima") are created at Ise Jingū located in Ise, Mie, Japan.

The Jingū Taima is written 天照皇大神宮 which is "amaterasu + kōtai jingū." The Kōtai Jingū (also called Naikū 内宮) is the inner shrine of Amaterasu-Ōmikami at Ise Jingü.

Amaterasu-Ōmikami is my central Kami because she is the closest to my heart.

⛩️ Sarutahiko-no-Okami 猿田彦大神｜Ujigami Jinja - Left

Hokubei Tsubaki Dai Jingu 北米椿大神社

Located at Shin Mei Spiritual Center in Sidney, British Columbia, Canada.

The Ofuda is the name of the shrine so I also honor:

Ukanomitama-no-Kami 宇迦之御魂神 a primary Inari-Ōkami 稲荷大神

Kunitama-no-Kami 国魂の神

This Ofuda can be used in the role of an Ujigami Ofuda for all of North America. — Shin Mei Spiritual Center Link

⛩️Ame-No-Uzume-No-Mikoto 天鈿女命 | Sūkei Jinja - Right

Uzume Honmiya Tsubakigishi Jinja 鈿女本宮椿岸神社. An auxiliary shine, betsugū 別宮, within Tsubaki Okamiyashiro 椿大神社.

Located Suzuka City, Mie, Japan. I receive their Ofuda via Shin Mei.

The Ofuda is the name of the shrine so I also honor:

Futodama-no-Mikoto 布刀玉命

Ame-no-Koyane-no-Mikoto 天児屋命

I chose her Ofuda to be the one from the shrine in Japan, rather than Ofuda from Shin Mei's shrines because of these two additional Kami.
