Today's keshi scan packs a wallop! It's the Uchide no Kozuchi, a magical hammer from Japanese folklore that appeared as an item in Ganbare Goemon Karakuri Dōchū on Famicom.

This is from the Ganbare Goemon keshi released by Kabaya in 1986.

...the Japanese term onee-sama and got to mentally note something before the explanation. Oh. What's a koizuchi look like?

Oh, it's "kozuchi." And it is all more complicated than I am good for right now. Oops.

Daikokuten is another of Japan's Seven Lucky Gods – the deity of wealth, prosperity, and the household. He blends the Buddhist deity Mahakala with the Shinto deity Okuninushi, and is often paired with Ebisu in shops and homes across Japan.
A large stone statue of Daikokuten, the Japanese deity of wealth, prosperity, and the household, sits at the entrance to Futarasan Shrine in Nikko. He smiles broadly, wearing a flat hat, holding his magic mallet (uchide no kozuchi) in one hand and a large treasure sack in the other while seated on two rice bales. A wooden offering box stands in front of him, and a Japanese sign reading "むすび大国" ("Musubi Daikoku" – Daikoku of bonds and connections) stands to his right. A stone statue of Daikokuten, one of Japan's Seven Lucky Gods, stands among bamboo and wooded surroundings at Futarasan Shrine in Nikko. He smiles cheerfully while raising his magic mallet (uchide no kozuchi) over his shoulder, with the kanji 福 (fuku, "good fortune") carved into its head. A small wooden offering box sits at his feet, and a red post on the right holds a bell tied with red-and-white ribbons reading "恋愛成就の鈴" ("Bell of Love Fulfilment"). A stone statue of Daikokuten, one of Japan's Seven Lucky Gods, sits enshrined inside a small wooden hall in Japan. He smiles warmly, holding his magic mallet (uchide no kozuchi) raised in one hand and a treasure sack over his shoulder. Two stone vases of fresh yellow, white, and red flowers stand on either side of him, and a small incense burner sits in front, with an offering box, gravel ground, and ornamental plants completing the shrine setting. Two carved wooden lanterns hang from the rafters above.

🎍🍊FIRST TEA & FRESH STARTS🍵🙇‍♂️

Hatsugama (初釜) is the first tea ceremony of the year. As it's a busy time for us in the teahouse, there's little chance for a proper celebration, so instead the youngest members of Camellia hosted an informal gathering to celebrate 'new beginnings'.

#Kyoto #初釜 #Japan
Despite the steam rising from the kettle and tea bowl, the tea room was nice and toasty. To celebrate the coming of a spring a pink kinton sweet recalling ume blossoms sprinkled in snow. Although you cannot see it here there were pieces of soft mochi within the bean paste giving the sweets a delicious chewy texture. Cranes adorn the mizusashi (water container). The birds are symbols of good fortune and long life. The handle is in the shape of 'Uchide-no-Kozuchi' ('Tap-Appear Mallet'), so called because one tap will grant any wish to the holder. The team assemble at the end of three tea gatherings. They look so smart in kimono and hakama.

The god is often portrayed holding a golden mallet 'Uchide-no-Kozuchi' (打ち出の小槌). It is called 'Tap-Appear Mallet' because one tap will grant any wish.
The mallet is not exclusive to Daikokuten. It also appears in the tale Issun-bōshi (一寸法師), Japan's 'Tom Thumb'.
