The fortune-telling business in Japan is a multi-million dollar business. In Japan, fortune telling also known as omikuji is a popular form of divination that involves drawing a random strip of paper from a container and interpreting the message written on it. These messages, or “fortunes”, often contain words of encouragement or caution, and may be specific to a particular person or situation.
In this blog, we will go through the books of the famous fortune teller known as 石井 ゆかり. But before we move on to her books let us take a closer look at fortune-telling.
What is Fortune telling?
Fortune telling is the practice of predicting or divining information about a person's life, relationships, or future events. There are many different methods of fortune-telling, including astrology, tarot reading, palmistry, and numerology, among others. While some people believe that fortune-telling can provide insights and guidance, it is important to remember that these practices are not based on scientific evidence and should not be used as a substitute for professional advice or treatment. It is also important to be cautious of anyone who claims to be able to predict the future with absolute certainty, as this is not possible.
Omikuji can be found at shrines and temples throughout Japan, and people often visit these places specifically to receive a fortune. Some shrines and temples also offer other forms of fortune-telling, such as astrology or palm reading.
