Card Trivia:Bujingi Turtle


 * Hetsuka and several of the other vessels appear to be based on the ten treasures known as the Tokusa no Kandakara (10 varieties of the god’s treasure) which are enshrined at Isonokami shrine. They were holy items given to Nigihayahi, an ancestor of the Mononobe clan, by Amaterasu and brought to earth when he descended from Heaven. These treasures were essentially magical items that could be used in rituals for the purpose of exorcism or purification.
 * Hetsuka appears to be based on Hetsukagami (Mirror of the Shore), which was possibly a mirror that brought glory. This is reflected in the design of the card, which features a turtle-like animal, which could live by the shore, with a mirror on its back.
