Interesting Fact
In Japanese folklore, the "Seven Lucky Gods (δΈη¦η₯)" sail into the New Year aboard a treasure ship called the "Takarabune". Each god brings a different blessing, such as wealth, happiness, wisdom, or long life. For centuries, people have welcomed their arrival as a symbol of good fortune for the year ahead, helping make the number seven one of Japan's most auspicious numbers.
Memory Trick
