These are pufferfish and whale bells. The pufferfish has a somewhat adorable face. The whale is with its child, and the mouth part is a bell. When Oda Nobunaga was about to attack Ishiyama-dera Temple, he asked the lord of the Shima Peninsula, Yoshitaka Kuki, to go to war to defeat the Murakami navy, who were allied with the Mori army. In response to this request, he set sail, but he was facing the famous Murakami navy, and he wondered if there was any way to encourage his disheartened subordinates. As he was passing the offing of Taijiura, he was gazing at the rising sun. Suddenly, a large group of whales appeared, surrounding the fleet while reflecting the morning sun and spouting water. Seeing this, Yoshitaka shouted, "This is auspicious! Look, everyone! Has heaven sided with us? The whales have been sent as reinforcements! Our navy's victory is assured!" Seeing this, the morale of the Kuki navy greatly increased, and their courage was multiplied a hundredfold, and they utterly defeated the Murakami navy in the naval battle off Settsu. From then on, it is said that they were protected by a large group of whales every time they went to war, and they won every battle. *The tomoe crest on the head is the crest of the Wada family, the head family of the Taiji whaling group. It's a very cute item.
