This is a set of two gold dragonfly objects, traditionally loved as lucky charms since the Nara period. Dragonflies have the habit of only flying straight ahead, never retreating. Their forward-moving nature aligns with the samurai spirit of "futaiten" (never retreating), and they came to be known as "kachimushi" (winning insects). During the Warring States period, when victory in battle was crucial, samurai generals favored dragonfly motifs on their armor. The sound a dragonfly makes is said to sound like "kachikachikachi." This sound is associated with "kachi," meaning "victory in battle," and is considered very auspicious. Dragonflies are often seen near rice paddies. They feed on insects, their main food source, and they particularly enjoy eating pests that damage crops in rice paddies. Therefore, dragonflies are considered a "symbol of abundant harvests and the spirit of grain" and have been highly valued. Recently, they have also become very popular as insect repellents for outdoor activities, BBQs, and car accessories. This is a handcrafted item, one by one by artisans, of the lucky "kachimushi" dragonfly, which also serves as an insect repellent. Therefore, each one has a different shape.
