"Is this an amulet? For me? Really?"
"Remember you gave me a kimono the other day? This is something in return. See? Put it on your arm like this."

【Arm Amulets】
One of the personal ornaments used in the Edo period was an "arm amulet", which was attached to the upper arm. A cloth made of velvet was looped around the upper arm and tied by a metal stopper. Both women and men used them, and they often put a personal amulet and fragrance inside.
