Takara-zukushi Stamps - 10 Piece Set

A 10-piece set of "Takara-zukushi" (treasures) stamps. (Items in sets cannot be sold separately.) ● Uchi-de no Kozuchi (Magic Mallet) The Uchi-de no Kozuchi, often held by Issun-boshi (the one-inch boy) or Daikokuten (one of the Seven Lucky Gods), is an auspicious item. When shaken, it can make the user grow larger or produce food, gold, silver, and treasures. ● Kinno (Treasure Bag) A drawstring bag held by Daikokuten, said to generate wealth. It is also called "Fukuro" (lucky bag), implying that "accumulated hardships can also lead to good fortune." ● Kakuremino (Invisibility Cloak) A "mino" is a garment made of straw or kaya, used for protection against cold and rain. The Kakuremino is a mystical item featured in folktales, which makes the wearer invisible to others. It is also said to be a treasure of the Tengu (long-nosed goblins). ● Kakuregasa (Invisibility Umbrella) Depicted alongside the Kakuremino in the Hogen Monogatari (Tale of the Hogen). Both are items used to disappear, symbolizing "precious objects that protect one from danger." ● Hokan (Treasure Scroll) / Makijiku (Scroll) A scroll containing sacred Buddhist scriptures. A Makijiku traditionally records secret teachings. ● Sundial Weight (Ponder) Used with scales to measure weight. It is considered auspicious as it symbolizes connection to wealth and fortune. The map symbol for "bank" is shaped like this. ● Hoju (Wish-Granting Jewel) A mystical pearl said to grant any desired item, including gold, silver, and treasures. It is believed to "produce gold, silver, treasures, and desired items at will, dispel misfortune, and purify." This auspicious item symbolizes "living a good life and fulfilling dreams." ● Hanawa Chigai (Seven Treasures) It is said that "relationships with people are as valuable as the Seven Treasures" (mentioned in Buddhist scriptures). This pattern, with its continuous circles, embodies the wish for "lasting harmony and fulfillment." ● Choji (Clove) A spice derived from the clove tree. Mentioned in "Fujitsubo" of The Tale of Genji, the plant material known as "Choji" was used as a "dye" and "perfume" by Heian nobles. It is one of the highly prized "Eight Treasures." ● Hōyaku (Key) A key to a storehouse, shaped like a curled fern. It is considered an auspicious symbol of wealth, fortune, and abundance.
