#2026 Year #Good Luck Netsuke ③ ■ Lucky Stroking Turtle and Lucky Double Carp #Matsuo Taisha Shrine #Ema (Votive Tablet) Style #Turtle #Carp Length including string: Approximately 11.5 cm Ema part size: Approximately width 3.3 x height 2.7 x thickness 0.2 cm Diameter of the bell part: 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 turtles and carp are revered as divine messengers. Turtles are considered auspicious for longevity, and carp are considered auspicious for success in life. There are statues of stroking turtles and carp on the grounds. I couldn't take good photos, but the symbolic turtles and carp appear to be holographic. Since there is no outer bag, there is a possibility of minor scratches, but would anyone who feels a connection like to have it? It will be shipped via "Mini Letter". #moon Netsuke ※ Last item of netsuke #Netsuke #Strap #Good Luck #Good Fortune #Year of the Horse #Horse
