This is a shell matching set featuring a Rikkyoka (standing flower arrangement) design by the 45th generation Ikenobo Sen'ei of the Ikenobo school of flower arrangement. It can also be used as a kogo (incense container). It is decorated with gold leaf and features historical designs related to flower arrangement. The Rikkyoka style, the oldest form of ikebana (flower arrangement), which originated in the Muromachi period, is depicted. Clams are also considered a lucky food. They are indispensable for celebratory meals such as the Doll Festival and weddings because they symbolize the wish to meet a lifelong partner and live together in harmony. Please refrain from purchasing if you are overly concerned about condition, seek perfection, or prefer to remain silent throughout the transaction, as there is no original box. We welcome purchases from those who understand and accept home storage.
