A form of divination that is popular at Shinto shrines are the "omikuji". These are small slips of paper which are obtained from the shrine (for a donation) and which are then read to reveal a prediction for the future. Those who receive a bad prediction often then tie the "omikuji" to a nearby tree or frame set up for the purpose. This act is seen as rejecting the prediction, a process called "sute-mikuji", and thus avoiding the misfortune it predicted.
