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.
It has been stored in a box, but is being sold due to decluttering.
● 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 (three gourds) shi" (a pun on "sanbyoshi," meaning "three beats" or "good luck"), and when six are gathered, it's "mubyo (six gourds) sokusai" (good health), with the meaning changing depending on the number.
※ Does not stand on its own.
I have wiped off as much dust as possible, but may have missed some. Please forgive me.
It has a stopper in the shape of a magic mallet.
