Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] This invention relates to a card-type amulet, and in particular to a card-type amulet that conforms to the size of a JIS standard card. [Background technology]
[0002] Temples and shrines each sell omamori charms, and Patent Documents 1 to 4 disclose various omamori charms. However, each temple or shrine individually produces and sells amulets with different shapes and structures, which takes time to produce. Furthermore, traditional amulets generally have similar shapes, which makes them uninteresting. Furthermore, it was not possible to include information about the temple or shrine on the amulet itself. As a result, temples and shrines were unable to differentiate their charms from those of other temples or shrines, and worshippers who received the charms were unable to get a sense of the specialness of the temple or shrine.

[0013] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. Fig. 1 is a diagram showing the front side of one embodiment of a card-type talisman 10 according to the present invention, and Fig. 2 is a diagram showing the back side of one embodiment of a card-type talisman 10 according to the present invention.
[0014] As shown in Figure 1, the card-type amulet 10 according to this embodiment comprises a main body 11 whose length, width, and thickness conform to the size of a JIS standard card, and a serial number stamping section 13 formed on the surface 12 of the main body 11 and on which a serial number is stamped. The serial number can be stamped by embossing numbers or letters.
[0015] The main body 11 has a vertical dimension of 54.0 mm, a horizontal dimension of 85.6 mm, a thickness dimension of 0.76 mm, and a corner radius of 3.18 mm. The main body 11 can be made of a material such as PVC (polyvinyl chloride).
[0016] In the illustrated example, the serial number of the serial number stamping unit 13 is "2025-4612." The first four digits of the serial number indicate the year, and the last four digits indicate a unique number. Therefore, "2025-4612" means that this is the 4612th amulet manufactured in the year 2025.
[0017] Therefore, in the card-type amulet 10 of this embodiment, the main body 11 is made into a card-like shape based on the JIS standard, and by stamping a serial number on its surface 12, it can be made into a card-type amulet like a cash card or credit card.
[0018] As shown in Figure 1, the surface 12 of the main body 11 is formed with a first provider display section 14 that displays the name of the temple or shrine that provided the amulet, and a pattern display section 15 that displays a pattern indicating that the amulet is a talisman.
[0019] In the illustrated example, the name of the temple or shrine that is the provider of first provider display unit 14 is "CDJI." In addition, in the illustrated example, the design of design display unit 15 is a picture of a dragon holding a crystal ball. Note that the name of the temple or shrine that is the provider of first provider display unit 14 can be stamped in the same way as serial number stamping unit 13.
[0020] Therefore, in the card-type charm 10 according to this embodiment, various pieces of information such as a first provider display section 14 and a design display section 15 can be displayed on the surface 12 of the main body section 11.
[0021] As shown in Figure 2, the back surface 16 of the main body 11 is formed with a second provider display section 17 that displays the name of the providing temple or shrine, a family crest display section 18 that displays the family crest of the providing temple or shrine, an information display section 19 that displays information about the providing temple or shrine, and a two-dimensional code display section 20 that displays a two-dimensional code (e.g., a QR code (registered trademark)) that can be used to access the video information of the providing temple or shrine.
[0022] In the illustrated example, the name of the source temple or shrine on the second source display unit 17 is "AB Mountain CD Temple." In addition, the family crest on the family crest display unit 18 is a picture of a temple displayed in a circular frame in the illustrated example. Furthermore, the information on the information display unit 19 is "300th Anniversary of Founding" in the illustrated example. Furthermore, in the illustrated example, the two-dimensional code on the two-dimensional code display unit 20 is composed of a code that stores a URL that can access the video information of the source temple or shrine.
[0023] Therefore, in the card-type amulet 10 of this embodiment, various information such as a second provider display section 17, a family crest display section 18, an information display section 19, and a two-dimensional code display section 20 can be displayed on the back surface 16 of the main body section 11.
[0024] As explained above, in the card-type amulet 10 of this embodiment, the main body 11 is made into a card shape based on the JIS standard, and by stamping a serial number on its surface 12, it can be made into a card-type amulet like a cash card or credit card. Therefore, by making the main body 11 into a card shape based on the JIS standard, production efficiency and transportation efficiency can be improved, and by stamping a serial number, the person who receives the card-type amulet 10 can feel a sense of specialness (personal feeling) that is individual to the temple or shrine.
[0025] Furthermore, in the card-type amulet 10 of this embodiment, various information such as the first provider display section 14 and the pattern display section 15 can be displayed on the surface 12 of the main body section 11, so that the first provider display section 14 can clearly display the name of the temple or shrine that provided the amulet, and the pattern display section 15 can clearly display that it is an amulet.
[0026] Furthermore, in the card-type amulet 10 of this embodiment, various information such as a second provider display section 17, a family crest display section 18, an information display section 19, and a two-dimensional code display section 20 can be displayed on the back surface 16 of the main body section 11, so that the second provider display section 17 can clearly display the name of the provider temple or shrine, the family crest display section 18 can clearly display the family crest of the provider temple or shrine, the information display section 19 can clearly display information about the provider temple or shrine, and the two-dimensional code display section 20 allows easy access to video information about the provider temple or shrine.
[0027] Furthermore, with the card-type amulet 10 of this embodiment, not only can various pieces of information about the temple or shrine that provided the amulet be displayed on the front and back of the main body 11, but the holder of the card-type amulet 10 can also access video information about the temple or shrine that provided the card-type amulet 10 via the two-dimensional code display unit 20, and learn unique information about the temple or shrine. As a result, temples and shrines can differentiate themselves from other temples and shrines by using amulets.
[0028] Furthermore, with the card-type amulet 10 of this embodiment, whether a single temple or shrine provides amulets or multiple temples or shrines provide different amulets, the shape of the main body 11 can be unified, eliminating the need to produce and sell them individually and reducing the time required for production.
[0029] Furthermore, the card-type amulet 10 according to this embodiment can provide an amulet that is novel and special, being "card-type and with a serial number," and can be an amulet with a unique appeal.
[0030] The above-described embodiment can be modified as follows. (1) The serial number of the serial number stamping unit 13 has been described as "year + unique number" as an example, but it may be "unique number" only. Also, the number of digits of the serial number of the serial number stamping unit 13 can be changed as desired.
[0031] (2) The specific display contents of the serial number stamping section 13, first provider display section 14, pattern display section 15, second provider display section 17, family crest display section 18, information display section 19, and two-dimensional code display section 20 can be changed as desired.
