## What is Pocket Fortune?

It would take nearly 2,000 years to read them all, even if you drew ten a day.
"Omikuji Bunko" is a "tiny library in your palm" that randomly brings you excerpts from approximately 17,000 literary works in the Aozora Bunko archive.
The experience of having fragments of stories drift from a vast ocean of literature is as if you are scrolling through the "X (Twitter)" of great literary masters across time. Words from decades or centuries ago flow into your timeline at this very moment, offering a mysterious sense of intimacy.
The collection includes over 7.63 million patterns, consisting of approximately 2.93 million short phrases and 4.7 million longer passages.
From this overwhelming layer of language, a single, chance line pops out. That serendipitous encounter might perfectly resonate with your mood today, or it might carry you away to a completely unknown world.
Enjoy the world of beautiful and powerful Japanese that has endured through the ages, with the casual ease of drawing an "Omikuji" (fortune slip).
