How to use this future prediction device.
The believer gives the monk at the temple a donation of money, then he pulls a stick out of the device on which a number is then written. The monk gives the believer the corresponding lucky ticket (this ceremony is called: Omikuji or Mikuji). After reading, this note is either taken with you or tied to the branches of a tree at the temple. In Japan you can do this at all Buddhic temples. This ceremony is comparable to the Chinese fortune cookies.
