Overview
Fortune telling (占い, Uranai) is a method or technique that is said to detect or foretell various things that are unknowable to ordinary people. In many cases, prescribed techniques and tools are used.
People who tell fortunes are called fortune tellers, diviners, and so on.
Although it is unscientific to modern people, there is a historical background that astrology and astronomy originally have the same root.
In addition, there are many people who believe that mystical matters cannot be ignored, so it can be said that fortune telling is a kind of business rooted in human instincts and is established to satisfy demand.
In some cases, fortune telling can be used as a form of unscrupulous business practice.
Classification
There are a great many methods and tools used in divination, but they can be broadly classified into three categories: life, phase, and fortune telling.
