If you see these little dolls, and you will, you may want to get one as an omamori (good luck charm). It is believed that it will help you have a safe delivery if you are pregnant, and also, watch over your children as they grow.

Great tips. Thank you! I have this Sarubobo for over a year now, but never knew its name, nor what it is supposed to do. I will buy some for my sisterand friends on our next visit in two weeks.
