Budai is an iron piece. He lived in the 10cy in the Wuyue Kingdom. He represents contentment & abundance. He was able to predict the future of people. His name means cloth sack. He carried a cloth sack over his back carrying his few possessions, being poor but content.  Also called the Laughing Buddha, he was often found playing with children. Here he is carrying the coins to bring you abundance. A recovered death note dated 916AD, which he wrote himself, claims he is the incarnation of the Maitreya, the Buddha of the Future
