in case you are wondering what you are hanging in your rear view mirror.. Its a sacred knot..

Here is something copied off another site...
Its a tradition and stems from several uses one of them being a long standing Festival (since the beginning of the 1700's when the feudal lord of Kishiwada, Okabe Nagayasu prayed to Shinto gods for an abundant harvest at Fushimi Inari-taisha in Kyoto). Every year in the middle of September (14th & 15th) is a large festival in Osaka called the Danjiri Matsuri.

The tsuna was used to adorn the danjiri "carts" at the entrance of the temple (what Danjirir's are made to appear like). The term is taken from the word Shimenawa (also used in Sumo to signify Yokozunas), which was a large rope hung above the entrance to shinto temples to signify a pure and sacred place (they were supposed to ward off evil spirits)
The Fusa Knot is a tassel that originated from the traditional Danjiri festival in Osaka. The tassel's design was originally a charm that decorated the helmets of soldiers in ancient Japan and is a form of 'good luck' charm. It is more specifically a religious (specifically Shinto) symbol of abundant harvest (as used in the Danjiri Matsuri). It is likely a derivation of the buddhist 'mystic knot', which, having no end, symbolizes the infinite wisdom of buddha.explains that everything goes in a cycle, where there is not start and end point. It is a never ending cycle in Buddhism. The mystic knot is seen as the symbol of good tidings with minimal illnesses, problems, pain, setbacks and any sort of sufferings. It is a knot that implies smooth and easy life. Therefore it is also the magical lucky knot in Feng shui.
Not trying to tick you off or anything, but I'd look into your stuff first if your going to be hanging a sacred item on your rear view mirror. Its like hanging a cross and not knowing what it is for.
