Omikuji are traditional Japanese fortune-telling strips found at Shinto shrines and Buddhist temples. Visitors draw a slip of paper that contains a fortune, which can range from great blessings to misfortunes. The fortunes are often categorized into various levels, such as "great blessing," "blessing," "medium blessing," and "bad luck." If the fortune is unfavorable, it is common practice to tie the slip to a tree or designated area at the shrine, symbolizing the intention to leave behind the bad luck. This ritual is believed to help improve one's fortune and bring good luck in the future.
