This gourd is a one-of-a-kind piece, carefully cultivated with great care, with each stopper hand-carved and decorated, taking time and effort to create. I have displayed it in my room with care, but I am selling it to declutter. ● Gourds are considered lucky charms, symbolizing "prosperity of descendants," "good health," "warding off evil," and "bringing happiness." It seems that when three are gathered, it's considered "sanbyo (san-gourd) shi" (a pun on "sanbyoshi," meaning "three virtues"), bringing good luck, and when six are gathered, it's "mubyo (roku-gourd) sokusai" (a pun on "mubyo sokusai," meaning "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. The hole is not smooth. Also, the stopper doesn't seem to fit perfectly, and it comes out easily. ※The actual colors may slightly differ from the images depending on the screen of your computer or smartphone. ※As it is an aged and natural item, there may be stains, scratches, and dirt. ※Please understand that this item has been stored at home for a long time. ※It will be shipped anonymously using recycled packaging materials. ✳️Please read my profile before purchasing. #Gourd #Hyotan #Gourd #LuckyCharm #Decoration #WardOffEvil #Natural #FengShui #Antique #SenchaDecoration #TeaUtensils #OldGourd #HangingDecoration #WallDecoration #Ornament #Ipu #Lamp Taste: Retro
