Treasure boat with Seven Lucky Gods
| Description: |
In Japanese folklore there are seven treasures and seven deities of good luck. The deities include one from Japan, three from India, and three from China. The story begins on New Years Eve, when the treasure ship with all seven deities enters the port to bring happiness to all. On January 2nd, people place their photographs of the treasure ship and its passengers under their pillow. If you have good or lucky dreams, you will have luck throughout the year. |
