Seven Fortune Gods Bell Of Japan
I bought this Seven Fortune Gods Bells at Kyoto. It’s a kind of very popular lucky gift in Japan.
There are seven fortune gods painted directly on the bell, They are worshipped widely in Japan since ancient times, as a part of traditional Japanese culture.
Hotei God: brings peace and wealth;
Jurojin God: brings peace at home and longevity;
Fukurokuju God: brings long life and happiness;
Benzaiten God: brings wisdom,
Bishamonten God: brings courage;
Daikokuten God: brings chances and wealth;
Ebisu God: protects from fire, diseases and commercial failure.

tiny, the bells look cute. Is it to be put in windows or hanged by the ceiling ? or maybe it will be dangling by the wind ?
sorry for asking so much, i’ve never seen anything like that before.

Oh, as the travel guider’s saying, all your ideas are all right.
you just need put them at a good place in your home, or you can simplely hang it over your bag. It will bring good luck to you!

Great photos; I’d like one for my Christmas tree too! Glad to see you’re still traveling; Japan must be a fascinating country to visit. You’ve been so many places, you should write a book!

Dear iWalk,
Glad to see you again too. Sorry I didn’t reply to this earlier but I didn’t notice it until now. I’m very pleased to meet you co-author; hi Tiny!
You’re right; Sydney is a top spot. I’d still love to travel as much as you have but there’s no place like home.
