Omikuji (aka mikuju), paper fortunes, tied to a tree at a Shinto shrine in Japan.

---

Omikuji are bought from the shrine; omikuji indicating good fortune are kept, while those forcasting bad luck are tied to a pine tree in the hope that the misfortune stays there. This is at Iminomiya Jinja, Chofu, Shimonoseki.
