Sanju Shippo (Triple Seven Treasures)
1 images
The shippo tsunagi pattern, commonly seen in temples and shrines, boasts ancient origins. The "seven treasures" from Buddhist scriptures are gold, silver, lapis lazuli, coral, agate, crystal (hari), and the shell of the giant "shakogai" clam, said to live a thousand years. Its interlocking circles symbolise eternal harmony, fulfilment, and human connections, reminding us that bonds between people are the true treasures of this world.
