This gourd is a one-of-a-kind piece, carefully cultivated with meticulous care, with each stopper hand-carved and decorated, taking time and effort to create. It has been stored in a box, but is being sold due to decluttering. ● Gourds are considered auspicious items, symbolizing "prosperity of descendants," "good health," "warding off evil," and "bringing happiness." It seems that when three are gathered, it's considered "sanbyo (three gourds) shi" for good luck, and when six are gathered, it's "mubyo (six gourds) sokusai" for good health, with the meaning changing depending on the number. I have wiped off the dust as much as possible, but I may have missed some. Please forgive me. It has a stopper in the shape of a magic mallet. There are signs of repair.
