How to identify ofuda?

I was given two sets of four ofuda: two are for luck in business, two are for general happiness, two are for peace and two are against accidental kitchen fires. How could I tell which one is which? I am keeping a set for myself and giving one to a friend, but I want to make sure I place mine correctly. I am not Shinto, but I do believe in the power of faith and I welcome these kind blessings in my home. :) Thanks to anyone who can assist me.

squibbydo, just upload your picture to an image hosting site like Tinypic or Imageshack, copy the direct link and post it in a reply here. No HTML or BB code needed.

Hi squibbydo,
I've just watched your pic and I can tell you which are. (I'm a Japanese) From left, for your health, for peaceful, for avoid trouble, and for business.
There are many kind of Ofuda in Japan. If you are interested in Ofuda, you can find many Ofuda pics at Google image serech. Try to type "おふだ".

I'm with ajapaneseboy. They sure don't look like genuine Japanese Ofuda to me--they look made in China :-( I'm also a native Japanese.

Ofuda must be written in Chinese Characters. Only Chinese Characters can be used in Eastern Talismans ( Chinese, Japan, Korea). Modern Languages cannot be used in Talismans, which will not bring any spiritual power. Japanese and Koreans Spiritual Masters know this as well.
Using Chinese Characters does not mean they might made in China, but because it is needed to be used in Talisman Writing.
Ofuda in Japan has it's roots in China Taoist Talismans.
