Hello Kitty Charm Japan Fukuoka Prefecture exclusive product, Dazaifu Kitty

Description: This product is known as a "Local Hello Kitty Charm," which represents Japan's unique culture and regional specialties. Like the states in the United States, Japan is divided into 47 prefectures, and charms designed to feature each prefecture's characteristics are sold. The unique aspect of these charms is that they are generally sold only within the prefecture they represent, making them unavailable for purchase unless you visit the prefecture. This exclusivity makes them highly collectible, and they are popular among many people in Japan. This Hello Kitty charm represents Dazaifu Tenmangu, a historical site located in Fukuoka Prefecture, Japan. The red position on the map of Japan in the product image list indicates Fukuoka Prefecture. What is Dazaifu Tenmangu? Dazaifu Tenmangu is a Shinto shrine situated in Dazaifu City, Fukuoka Prefecture, Japan. This shrine is dedicated to Sugawara no Michizane, known as the god of learning. Sugawara no Michizane was a prominent scholar and politician during the Heian period (ancient Japan) and was deified as Tenjin following his death. The shrine was built at the site where Michizane died in exile, attracting numerous visitors. It is particularly famous among students, who offer Ema (votive plaques) with prayers and wishes for success in their examinations. The shrine grounds are filled with plum trees, celebrating Michizane's fondness for the plum blossoms. Early spring sees these blossoms attract many tourists and photography enthusiasts. This charm symbolizes the description above, with Kitty standing on a red plum blossom. Kitty’s attire represents Sugawara no Michizane, the god of learning. Owning this charm may, perhaps, bring the god of learning’s favor to enhance your academic abilities (though not seriously claimed, this is what the shop owner hopes for).　：） The reason for listing this charm is that, after collecting Hello Kitty-related goods for over 40 years, I have multiple identical items and am selling this one to organize my collection. It's a hard-to-find item in Japan, making it a fortunate event for Hello Kitty charm collectors. However, it is likely possible to find similar designs. I aim to offer something special to people worldwide; hence, I do not sell my collection within Japan. I hope this item brings a smile to your face. 【 The size of the item 】Vertical length　 0.7inch Horizontal length 0.6inch Depth length 0.4inch To International Buyers - Please Note:Import duties, taxes, and charges are not included in the item price or shipping cost.
