This Warazaiku handcrafted by Megumi Onae is of a turtle - a symbol of good fortune in Japan.
Megumi Onae is a multifaceted and talented artisan who weaves, dyes, and makes warazaiku. While expecting her first newborn, she has kindly woven the crane and turtle warazaiku whenever she had free time - thus they are only available in limited quantities.

Care instructions
- Wipe off dust on a regular basis.
- Since it’s a natural material made of straw, place in an area low in humidity and temperature to avoid growth of mold.
- If you find mold, leave it out in the sun and use a brush to remove the mold or wipe it off gently with a cloth sprayed with alcohol or vinegar.
- In case you find a bug in your amulet, place it in an oven at 50 degrees celsius (122F) for around 2 hours.
- As Warazaiku is made from fresh straw, it is natural for it to change colors from green to gold over the course of time.
