This popular motif is created by combining seven auspicious things that include the syllable of “fu.” Starting with the “fu” of Mt. Fuji, it also includes the Wedded Rocks of Futamigaura, the Treasure Ship (Takara-fune), a weight for currency (fundō), a brush (fude), a treasure bag (fukuro), and a box to store letters (fubako).
