Kawarake

Kawarake Stamp
Kawarake-wari originated from the custom of warding off evil and bad luck. In the olden days, people regarded kawarake as a doll with its own bad luck and believed smashing it would expel the evil.
If you wish to start a good relationship, put the fragments of the kawarake on the Sanpo (small wooden stand).
If you wish to end relationship, Smash the kawarake using a nearby stone to expel bad luck.
