Research and responses: Information given by Professor Itaru Chijiwa, Assistant Professor Seiji Hoshino (both from Kokugakuin University) and Norifumi Shimazu (Association of Shinto Shrines) during a research visit, November 2009. Questions were asked about whether there was an item inside this amulet – the thin strip of paper inside is of the type used to wrap items inside amulets. This smaller piece of paper also shows broken seals and stamp markings where it had once been folded. Yasaka shrine in Kyoto – name written on red stamp at bottom. [El.B 19/01/2010]
