Something wicked this way comes…

That’s the only hint I’ll give. To protect it on its journey, I requested that our contact in Japan pick up a Koutsu Anzen omamori and place in it the shipping container. In typical fashion, he went above expectations and went to the famous Sumiyoshi Taisha Shrine to have one blessed for a safe journey of our precious cargo. I’m personally not an overly spiritual person but in the chance it helps, why not!

We’ll post soon exactly what this ‘precious cargo’ is… needless to say we’re beyond excited. Until then, here are some pictures of the omamori and shrine. Many thanks to Koji @ Bridge for his assistance. If you’re ever in need of translation services (Japanese-English) or are a business looking for a Japanese contact for import/export, Koji comes highly recommended.
