Add to ORKGA rectangular red lacquered box with black lacquer on the inside of the box and lid. On the back side of the box is a figure of Hotei or Pu-Tai. He is thought to be an incarnation of Maitreya and attributed with the virtue of magnanimity. He is represented as a Buddhist monk: bald, unshaven, smiling, and with a huge bell. He holds a non-folding fan in the right hand and leans on a large sack which contains endless treasures. He is incorporated into Buddhist and Shinto cultures and is based on an eccentric Chinese Ch'an (Zen) monk. His image graces many temples, restaurants, and amulets. Hotei has become a deity of contentment and abundance. On the front side are the Takara-Mono, symbols of good augury or emblems of good fortune
