"Trishula" (sanko-sho = Vajra) is a metal Buddhist ritual implement in the shape of a club, used in temples, and is a ritual tool of Esoteric Buddhism.
Before Kūkai (Kobo Daishi) officially transmitted Esoteric Buddhism during the Nara period, early Esoteric Buddhism was believed to be practiced in Japan, and this item is called the 'Kongo-sho' from that period, named for the number of prongs on the Vajra.
The Vajra is a club-shaped weapon with sharp blades at both ends, representing thunder, modeled after lightning.
There are three types: the 'Dokko-sho' with two ends having a single protrusion, the 'Sanko-sho' with three prongs, and the 'Goko-sho' with five prongs.
Introducing the 'Sanko-sho' that dispels difficulties before you.

"History" The Vajra (Kongo-sho) has been used since ancient times in Tibet and India for rituals, prayers, meditation, and purification.
Originally, it was possessed by the thunder god Indra, but later in Buddhism, a deity wielding this weapon (Chintamani Vajra) was believed to always accompany and protect the Buddha like a shadow.
In Esoteric Buddhism, the Kongo-sho symbolizes the wisdom to destroy worldly passions, as it is a sturdy weapon capable of destroying all obstacles, and the 'Sanko-sho' introduced to Japan is a very old form of Vajra. It is said that Kūkai (Kobo Daishi) received it from his teacher, and it was thrown when choosing a site to spread Esoteric Buddhism, leading him to Mount Kōya.

"Anecdotes" In Indian mythology, the Vajra is the thunderbolt of Indra (the king of gods). When Kūkai (Kobo Daishi) studied in Tang China as an envoy, he prayed on the coast of Mingzhou, asking for a suitable place to spread Esoteric Buddhism in Japan. It is said that he threw the Sanko-sho eastward with the prayer, and it rode a purple cloud flying toward Japan—that is the origin of the Sanko-sho.
Its shape resembles an infinity symbol, similar to a torus cycle.
The double spiral shape is activated by the user's frequency, releasing ascending spiral energy.
In other words, the 'Sanko-sho' is used to align with the user's frequency, ward off all difficulties around oneself, and gain ascending energy and guidance toward bliss, and has been used for this purpose.

"Usage" It contains the power to crush evil and is used to dispel difficulties and passions.
In old Japanese picture scrolls, the Sanko-sho is often depicted, mostly held in the hand to match the user's vibration.
It can be carried as a talisman in a bag, or placed at a place of concern, such as an altar at home, the entrance, living room, bedroom, or on a desk at work.
Use it as a portable or permanent item according to your preference.
