Hi Alan interesting piece I am assuming that thoes are prayers please correct me if I am wrong .
Regards Mark K
Hi Mark , they are not prayers as such but mantra`s . These talismen would be tailored to protect specific parts of the body from harm , ie . head , stomach , arms , legs etc. and is why you could come across five , six or more of these in a pouch , bag or senninbari ( thousand stitch belt ). The pouch i show only contained two when i obtained it .

Alan,
Here we go numbering the photos in the order you posted them.
1, 2 & 3: Prayer (for) eternal good fortune in war
5 & 6: (right column) Sumadera (Suma Temple)
(middle column) (Talisman) protection against bodily harm
(left column) Rensei-in (Rensei Temple)
Note: Both temples are on the grounds of the Sumadera in Kobe City and belong to the Shingonshu Buddhist sect.
7: (Talisman) protection against bodily harm
8: Minagawa Jinja (Minagawa Shrine, also located in Kobe city) (Talisman) protection against bodily harm
I just had a knee replacement; maybe I should have gotten one of those pouches :-)
