  Omikuji 1 ~ 100 All omikuji are rewritten from a scratch. Now they contain one block of text, split into four sentences, each, approximately, corresponding to original Chinese verses (quatrains) known as 元三大師百籤 (Ganzan Daishi Hyakusen). My original goal was to recreate authentic omikuji texts used in real Japanese shrines, but this task turned out to be not quite feasible due to great deal of variety between different omikuji editions and their interpretations. So there isn't any single "authentic" standard. Original short verses composed of Chinese characters are full of poetic metaphors and ancient references, and make little sense even to native speakers without interpretation notes. And various shrines use different interpretations, often straying far away from original verses, and intentionally changing their meaning to fit modern context. And the more I researched, the more comple…
