Kashira with the Chinese Immortal Tobosaku (Ch. Dong Fang Suo [Tung Fang So])
(Japanese Military Armor)
The Chinese immortal Tobosaku (Ch. Dong Fang Suo [Tong Fang So]), depicted here riding on clouds, is said to have been reincarnated six times. He first appeared in the 2nd century BC. He is shown with peaches because he gained his immortality by eating peaches from the Queen Mother of the West's orchard. This is part of a set with Walters 51.940.
