kissakai Posted April 4, 2024 Report Posted April 4, 2024 Anyone have any idea what the ghostlike sukashi on the left may represent? 1 Quote
Spartancrest Posted April 4, 2024 Report Posted April 4, 2024 It looks like some of the items of the seven lucky Gods. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Takarabune Numbers 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 During the first three days of the New Year the Seven Lucky Gods are said to pilot through the heavens and into human ports a mythical ship called the Takarabune, or "Treasure Ship". The gods carry with them takaramono (宝物), or treasure things, including the hat of invisibility (隠れ笠, kakuregasa), # 1 rolls of brocade (織物, orimono), the inexhaustible purse (金袋 kanebukuro), the secret keys to the treasure shed of the gods (鍵 kagi), # 2 the scrolls of books of wisdom and life (巻き物 makimono), the magic mallet (小槌 kozuchi), # 3 the lucky raincoat (隠れ蓑, kakuremino), # 4 the robe of fairy feathers (羽衣, hagoromo), and the bag of fortune (布袋 nunobukuro). Another list below with slightly different items, my best guess is number 5 and number 8 below. 1. a key to the gods' own storehouse 2. a hat that makes the wearer invisible 3. a purse that never runs out of coins 4. the hammer of Daikoku that brings forth a shower of gold coins 5. a straw raincoat that protects the wearer from evil spirits or kami 6. precious jewels 7. sacks and boxes of gold coins 8. rolls of brocade cloth 9. copper coins. 3 Quote
