Fertility, Pregnancy & Safe Childbirth Omamori

Shop authentic Japanese fertility, pregnancy and safe childbirth omamori from shrines and temples across Japan. These charms relate to different stages of the journey toward having a child, so the traditional meanings should not be treated as interchangeable.

Fertility vs. Safe Childbirth Blessings

  • Kosazuke (子授け) — hopes for being blessed with a child
  • Kodakara — blessings associated with children and fertility
  • Anzan — wishes for a safe pregnancy and childbirth

Kosazuke and Kodakara relate to hopes for a child, while Anzan relates to pregnancy and childbirth. Keeping these meanings separate helps overseas shoppers choose a charm suited to the recipient's actual situation.

Choosing a Fertility or Pregnancy Omamori

Check each listing for the issuing shrine or temple and the stated intention. If the recipient is already pregnant, a safe-childbirth charm may be more appropriate than a fertility charm.

Omamori are traditional cultural and spiritual items and are not medical treatments or substitutes for professional medical care.
