what this image says:
A tradition from the Edo period, a lucky "kumade" rake charm from the Otori-Jinja Shrine is said to bring increased happiness, good fortune, and prosperity.
At the Tori-no-ichi market, held at the shrine every November on the Tori-no-hi days (the days of the rooster), one of the 12 signs of the Chinese zodiac, more than 100 stalls lined up within the shrine grounds sell these kumades.
