"Suzumusi" means Bell Ringing Insect in English

When I went to Kyoto, I had been to "Suzumusi temple". It means many Bell Ringing Insects is singing around the temple. The people which visited the temple can hear the song all the year over. Many young girls visit to this temple. Because they can hear the resident priest talk about the history of "Suzumisi temple" with enjoyment and the charm of love. When they finished it, they bought the amulet(the yellow one in the picture). According the story, if you bought this amulet and do piety, guardian deity of children came your home. Many Japanese people think it is happy to be done. But I am afraid of it.
