Our Laughing Trekking is the tribute to the Laughing Buddha (also known as Hotel in Japan or Pu-Tai in China) an actual wandering Chinese monk who lived at the time of the Liang Dynasty (907-923 AD). He is incorporated in Buddhist, Taoist and Shinto traditions. He is most often depicted with a large round tummy, laughing or smiling. He also sometimes carries a cloth sack which never empties. In this bag are sweets for children, food, precious items, rice plants etc. He is like a patron for the weak, poor and children and as well as giving it seems he takes away our woes and sadness. He symbolizes good luck, contentment and abundance. He also sometimes carries a wishing fan, granting people wishes.
