NihontoWatchNihontoWatchThe dull vermilion red of the suaka stands out beautifully against the shibuichi migaki-ji, which has a slightly strong blackish tint. A biwa is placed in the center of the composition, a rusu-moyo implying Benzaiten. Benzaiten is a river goddess introduced from Hinduism. She holds a biwa that plays the sound of a murmuring river, and is often enshrined near water such as rivers, lakes, and ponds. The reverse side features kebori of a weeping willow with branches extending widely across the entire surface. The willow is a plant that favors the waterside, evoking the places where Benzaiten is enshrined. The biwa is made of a suaka base with kebori to represent the wood grain, featuring hira-zogan in shakudo, gold, and silver. The moist, lustrous shibuichi-ji is also beautiful.
