Zodiac Red Arrow (12 Zodiac Signs)
The Zodiac Tan-nuri Ya is a lucky charm based on the myth surrounding Tamayorihime-no-Mikoto, the deity enshrined at Shimogamo Shrine. According to legend, while Tamayorihime-no-Mikoto was performing a purification ritual in the Kamo River, she picked up a vermilion arrow that had floated down from upstream and placed it on her bed, at which point she gave birth to Kamo Wakeikazuchi no Okami, the mother of Emperor Jimmu. From this story, Tamayorihime-no-Mikoto has long been worshipped as the deity of matchmaking and child-rearing.
Zodiac Mizuhiki (12 Zodiac Signs)
This special item beautifully expresses each zodiac animal using Iida Mizuhiki, a traditional craft from the Iida region of Nagano Prefecture. Each zodiac animal is named after the guardian deity (※) of the zodiac enshrined at the Kotosha shrine of Shimogamo Shrine, and is received by many people who pray for matchmaking, family happiness, and protection. Iida Mizuhiki has a history of over 300 years and is a craft that symbolizes Japan's beautiful traditional culture. Mizuhiki, made from washi paper, is highly durable, and the knot is imbued with the meaning of strong ties between people. The Zodiac Tan-nuri Ya decorated with Iida Mizuhiki, which is also used by the Imperial Family and sumo wrestlers, is also a perfect gift for someone special.

Goshuin (red seal) - Murasaki Shikibu Aioisha Shrine Limited
The manga goshuin of Murasaki Shikibu, created at Aioi-sha Shrine in Shimogamo Shrine, is a special goshuin that allows you to feel Japanese culture. With the special cooperation of world-famous manga artist Riyoko Ikeda and calligrapher and artist Maaya Wakasugi, it is a beautiful design that combines manga and calligraphy. Riyoko Ikeda depicted Murasaki Shikibu, the author of The Tale of Genji, struggling to write her first stroke of the tale, and her gaze and hand holding the brush superimposed the feelings of worshippers praying for a good match. Maaya Wakasugi also wrote the calligraphy, likening the character "ai" to a "enso" (circle), symbolizing matchmaking. This goshuin overlaps with the story of the worshipper praying for love to be fulfilled, and is a piece that strongly evokes the literary elements unique to Shimogamo Shrine.
