Hey I just got an omamori from my martial arts teacher and Im wondering what it says. Could some translate it for me?
I know the words are a little fuzzy. +_+

The first pic is the shrine's name (something mizu jinj) Can't make out the first character.
The second pic is "budou omamori" or "martial arts talisman". It's basically a good-luck talisman just for martiral arts.
If you could take another picture of it with it standing so the characters aren't sideways, I may be able to translate the shrine's name...As it is, I can't make it out enough to even look up the kanji in my dictionary correctly. I can only guess..

Hmm...That could be possible. That would make the second character "tree" rather than "water"..I'll do a search and see if I can find a shrine by the name of 櫻木神社 (sakuragi jinja)
