TAKARABUNE

In Japanese folklore, the Takarabune (宝船), or "Treasure Ship," is a mythical ship piloted through the skies by the seven lucky gods during the first three days of the new year. An image of the ship is an essential part of traditional Japanese New Year celebrations.
The boat
During the first three days of the New Year, the seven lucky gods are said to pilot a mythical ship called the Takarabune, or "Treasure Ship," through the skies and into human harbors. The gods carry with them the takaramono (宝物), or treasures, including the hat of invisibility (隠れ笠, kakuregasa), the scrolls of brocade (織物, orimono), the inexhaustible purse (金袋 kanebukuro), the secret keys to the treasure hut of the gods (鍵 kagi), the scrolls of the books of wisdom and life (巻き物 makimono), the magic mallet (小槌 kozuchi), the raincoat of good luck (隠れ蓑, kakuremino), the fairy feather robe (羽衣, hagoromo), and the bag of fortune (布袋 nunobukuro).
