I tried looking around and from a website that sells lighters with the same name, they have an origin story which is interesting to know: From Kiribi Lighters: The origins of Kiribi lay in the traditional Japanese practice of casting sparks upon a beloved traveler's back, in order to impart fortune and ward off evil, blessing them on their journey. The practice hearkens back to the famous 8th century legend of Prince Yamatotakeru, and the aunt who gifted him the firestone and striker which saved his life along perilous travels. |  | If new feed item from https://danbooru.donmai.us/comments.atom, then send me an email at funncymarioo@gmail.com |  |  |
