I made five tied up monkeys in one amulet and will list it on my Etsy shop. and Kimetsu demon slayer inspired earrings. and goldfish earrings.  Kingyo gold fish is loved as charms of fortunes since old good Edo period in Japan. This is told from ancient china culture. Gyo (sakana, fish) is same pronouce as YUI, fortunes, and "Kin" means gold. Kingyo reminds us summer and Summer Festivals because we enjoy Kingyo small gold fish scoops. -Natsu

 This round shaped amulet, just like a flower buds, is called Kukuri-zaru, tied up monkey. This small object is drew in some Japanese traditional paintings like Hokusai and Ukiyoe. A "monkey" is "SARU" in Japanese, which is same sound as "(go)away" . So this talisman is for keeping you away from unluckiness and or evils. Also, when you write "monkey" in Chinese character, it is pronounced as "En" as well as "saru". En leads "Go-En" , linking to good connections, good relations to lucks and happiness. And go is same sound as 5 (five) , so we often see them of five pieces in a chain. Looking this monkey well, you can see his arms and legs are tied up. This is for reminding you to be calm, without any hectic, just concentrate to your wish until it comes true. -Nat
