Originally passed down from a local shaman, I obtained this through an acquaintance. This ornament is said to be a vessel for a Zashiki-warashi (a type of house spirit) that emerged from the storehouse of an old merchant's house. It is said that the moment the long-sealed wooden box was opened, the air in the room shimmered and a faint sound of footsteps was heard approaching on the tatami mats. Immediately after, a young voice whispered in the ear of the person who reached for the box: "I've been waiting." At the same time, the sweet scent of flowers drifted from somewhere, and the central red amber shone with exceptional brilliance. This event is said to have been unanimously testified to by everyone present. According to old records, on the night the Zashiki-warashi appeared, this treasure was placed at the head of the householder's pillow. From then on, the house prospered without end and was protected from illness and misfortune. Conversely, it is also said that during the periods when this treasure was kept away, misfortune and illness continued, and fortune returned as soon as it was welcomed back. The deep red amber in the center symbolizes the core of the Zashiki-warashi's soul, and the surrounding pale gold light represents an invisible protective barrier. It is believed that the Zashiki-warashi visits those who have formed a strong connection with it, protecting and guiding their family fortune, wealth, and relationships for a long time. By treating it with care, its power will deepen further, and it will continue to support the owner's life with an unseen hand. ※Individual results may vary, and the effects are not guaranteed.
