Salt-molding is a traditional Japanese method of warding off evil. Salt is believed to have powerful purifying properties and has been used for centuries as a protective charm. Morishio involves piling coarse salt in a mountain shape on a small plate and placing a pair at the entrance. This is not only believed to ward off evil but also to attract good fortune and ensure a steady stream of customers, a custom that has been practiced since ancient times.

* Creates salt mounds approximately 4 cm wide and 4.5 cm high. Approximately 15-20g of salt is used per mound.
* Coarse salt is not included in this set.
