My grandmother went in Japan 50 years ago. During her travel, she collected a
note concerning her future, but she didn't speak any words of Japanese. She
has kept the note in her wallet for all these years. Now I would like to tell
her the meaning of this old note. Could someone please help me? Unfortunately
there is a missing character due to a small hole in the middle, I hope it is
still undestandable. Thank you.[![the

What does the word 小吉 mean in this context?
Without going into too much detail, this piece of paper is known as
'[omikuji](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/O-mikuji)'. It's a fortune-telling
paper that you pick randomly from a box at shrines and temples in Japan. There
is a possible range of rankings from good fortunes to bad fortunes. The word
[小吉](https://jisho.org/search/%E5%B0%8F%E5%90%89%23words), written in the top
right and pronounced 'shōkichi', indicates that this particular fortune is
'small blessing', one of the good fortunes.
