I saw this Omamori on Facebook, it's for a shrine in Aomori called Hirota Shrine 廣田神社. Apples are a major famous food from Aomori, a seeing that reflected on the shrine's omamori was such a treat! I have an apple tree in my family home's backyard and have many fond memories of using the apples in baking (they're no good raw only good for cooking ahaha).

They even do an apple filled temizuya! And their Goshuin also have the apple motif!

I also went on their official website to learn more about the shrine and the Kami there, and apparently the gosaijin is Amaterasu Ōmikami. They also have shrines for Ōkuninushi no Kami, Kotoshironushi no Kami, Hiruko no Mikoto (Ebisu-sama), and the other kami closely linked to them enshrined as Haishishin 配祀神.

As for the shrine's history, originally Ebisu-sama was enshrined as a way to pacify the Emishi people, and pray for peace in the area. The Amaterasu Ōmikami enshrined here is the Aramitama of her, which is fascinating as it's rare for a shrine to only enshrine the Aramitama element. A major figure in the shrine's history Shōbei Matatsugu Shindō, is also enshrined there and viewed as the guardian Kami of Aomori. [x]

Anyways it's a fascinating shrine! I hope to be able to visit someday.

I finally got my Goshuin from Hachidai Shrine and Hoshida Myōkengū framed! They look so nice especially with the lacquer frames, and backings.

I still have a few more items I'd like to get framed, but these turned out great for now :D

From BlueSky:

"I paid a visit to Kasumi Inari Shrine on the grounds of Hōretsu Shrine. I purified myself at the Fortune Bringing Temizuya with a Gold Dragon. I hope my financial fortune improves."
