Meaning

Primary

Amulet

Alternative

Charm

Word Type

noun

Explanation

You know how 守る is "to protect," right? This is like that, but it's the noun version. It's not really "a protection," though it kind of is. What things can you wear to protect you from things like bad luck, demons, and ancient aliens? That would be an amulet or a charm. You'll see these kinds of things sold at temples and such.

Reading

おまもり

Explanation

The reading is like that of 守る, so if you know the reading of that word you should be able to read this one as well.

Context

Context Sentences

たくさんのお守りを同時に付けない方がいいですよ。逆に不幸をもたらすかもしれないですからね。

You shouldn’t wear multiple lucky amulets at the same time. It could bring you bad luck instead.
