Amulet in the shape of a dog; Inu Mamori
"Dog amulet. Empress Komyo herself made small dog amulets for supplication from the ashes of the sacred fire. Since then, every leading nun has continued this work. These amulets help women during childbirth and protect against all evil. Hokke-ji dog amulets may be the smallest in the world."
