#2026 #GoodLuck Netsuke ③ ■ Lucky Touching Turtle and Lucky Double Carp #Matsuo Taisha Shrine #Ema (Votive Tablet) Style #Turtle #Carp Total length including string: Approximately 11.5 cm Ema part size: Approximately width 3.3 x height 2.7 x thickness 0.2 cm Bell diameter: Approximately 0.9 cm This is a netsuke from Matsuo Taisha Shrine in Kyoto. Matsuo Taisha Shrine is a shrine with a long history. It is said that when the gods went up the Hozu River, they rode on the back of a carp in the rapids and a turtle in the gentle currents, so the turtle and carp are revered as divine messengers. Turtles are considered auspicious for longevity, and carp for success in life, and there are statues of touching turtles and carp on the grounds. I couldn't take good photos, but the symbolic turtle and carp appear in a hologram. As there is no outer bag, there is a possibility of minor scratches, but would anyone who feels a connection like to have it? Shipping is planned via "Mini Letter". ↓ Multiple netsuke are on sale ↓ #moonNetsuke #Netsuke #Strap #GoodLuck #GoodFortune #YearOfTheHorse #Horse
