A charm hanging with paper fortunes placed there by someone wishing for protection and good health for this New Year. Many similar trinkets are available at temples offering either protection and/or luck that range from doing well in business to safe travels to starting a family.
Until now, I thought people usually bought them to carry on their person for the next 12 months, this was the first time I'd seen one hanging up in a temple.
Please view large it makes a difference.

Step into the serene ambiance of a traditional Japanese Shinto shrine. This image captures the essence of spiritual Japan with a stone torii gate standing proudly at the entrance. The gate, a common symbol in Shintoism, marks the transition from the mundane world to a sacred space. Its weathered stone texture and robust structure evoke a sense of timeless reverence.
Just beyond the torii gate lies a small shrine building with a gracefully curved tiled roof. The roof's design isn't just beautiful; it efficiently channels rainwater, highlighting the practical wisdom embedded in traditional Japanese architecture. The entrance to the shrine is adorned with lanterns and shimenawa (sacred ropes), which signify purity and protection.
Surrounding the shrine, lush greenery and pine trees enhance the peaceful atmosphere. The natural setting frames the shrine beautifully, adding to its serene and spiritual ambiance. The nearby building hints that this sacred space is embedded in a residential area, illustrating the harmonious blend of everyday life and spiritual sanctuaries in Japan.
This shrine scene isn't just picturesque; it offers a glimpse into the spiritual heart of Japanese culture. The details, from the stone torii gate to the shimenawa and lanterns, embody the deep-rooted traditions and reverence that characterize Shinto practices. This space serves as a tranquil retreat for reflection, spiritual practice, and a moment of calm amidst the hustle and bustle of daily life.

Expecting and nursing mothers require social protection but workers in the informal economy are often not covered. Maternity protection has been a primary concern of the ILO since its creation in 1919. Workplace support for mothers who are breastfeeding has been a basic provision of maternity protection. The Philippines expanded maternity leave benefits in 2019 to align with international labour standards. The ILO also promoted exclusive breastfeeding in the workplace to advance women’s rights to maternity protection and to improve nutrition security for Filipino children.
