Somin Shōrai's Descendants' Family Gate, Seven Fortunes Immediately Arise, Seven Difficulties Immediately Vanish. This is a set of three items. Long ago, Susanoo-no-Mikoto (the younger brother of Amaterasu-Omikami) was traveling through Ise. During his journey, he asked a poor man named Somin Shōrai for a night's lodging, which Somin Shōrai kindly provided. Moved by his kindness, Susanoo-no-Mikoto said, "If a plague breaks out, wear a wooden tag inscribed with 'Somin Shōrai'." He then departed. Later, when a plague did occur, only Somin Shōrai's family escaped the disease. Reference: Good Luck!
