These particular sange are likely from the Yakushiji temple in Nara. Two of them feature an image of the top of a pagoda on one side and a colorful Buddhist illustration on the other side. The third petal is red with the name of the temple printed on one side.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan color=\"#000000\" face=\"Arial\"\u003ePeople often keep sange at the end of a Buddhist service as a souvenir and as a lucky item. The lotus flower is an important symbol in Buddhism: the top of the flower is a pure place, and many of the Buddha statues in temples have lotus flowers carved on the pedestals they sit on. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRed, gold, silver, pink, green, yellow\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePaper\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eC1980\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCharacters: 薬師寺 Yakushiji Temple (Nara)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eItem weight: 3 grams\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePacked weight: 100 grams\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEach approx. 8.7 cm long x 7.2 cm wide \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGood condition.
