Before the exam season, an aquarium in Noboribetsu, Hokkaido made a lucky charm using snake shells to pray for success.
The amulet was made by Noboribetsu Marine Park Nix, an aquarium in Noboribetsu City.
What is used is the cast-off shell of the snake "Anaconda", which is about 6 meters in length and is considered to be one of the largest in the world, which is kept in the aquarium.
Snakes are a symbol of wisdom and are considered auspicious, so every year we make this amulet for the exam season.
The price is 59 yen after "passing" so that there will be benefits for examinees.
The amulets are popular not only with students taking entrance exams, but also with foreign tourists.
Satoshi Yamamoto, head of the Noboribetsu Marine Parknics Merchandise Sales Division, said, "Snakes molt repeatedly, so they symbolize infinite life and wisdom. Each snake is handmade, so get this amulet and do your best in your exams." I want it." I sent an email.
Only 200 of these amulets will be sold until March next year, when the results of public high schools will be announced.
