Hiroshi Mizuo argues that the best examples of shibusa are found in the crafts, ordinary objects made for everyday use.

For the non-Arhat, death is a time of transitioning to a yet another rebirth; thus, the living participate in acts that transfer merit to the departed, either providing for a more auspicious rebirth or for the relief of suffering in the departed's new existence. For the living, ceremonies marking another's death are a reminder of life's impermanence, a fundamental aspect of the Buddha's teaching.See also, for example, in the Pali Canon, awareness of another's death is often referred to as one of the "messengers" from the lord of the Underworld meant to spur one onto a more wholesome life. Death rites are generally the only life cycle ritual that Theravāda Buddhist monks get involved in and are therefore of great importance.

Despite being born the second son of Maharaja Vijaya Manikya II, Ananta was named heir apparent by his father, his elder brother Dangar Fa having been sent to live at the court of Mukunda Deva of Odisha. The reason for this unusual succession is disputed, with the former either having been viewed as possessing the greater physical strength to rule or being born with a more auspicious horoscope. Following Vijaya's death in 1563, Ananta inherited an extensive and well-consolidated kingdom. Described by historian Dambarudhar Nath as having been "an unworthy son of a worthy father", he proved himself to be a poor monarch, being entirely under the power of his father-in-law, the Commander-in-Chief Gopi Prasad.

However, despite these challenges, Waverley performed well from the outset, having joined the Second Glasgow District League for 1923–24 while also putting out a side at juvenile level. They reached the semi-finals of the most prestigious national competition, the Scottish Junior Cup, at the first attempt, eventually being eliminated by neighbours Parkhead; the match at Celtic Park attracted an attendance of 11,500, even though the senior Scottish Cup final was taking place at Hampden Park at the same time. For 1924–25 Bridgeton moved on to the more auspicious Scottish Junior League, winning its Victory Cup knockout tournament in 1925. Due to the similarities in name and location, Bridgeton Waverley may have had some connection to a team named Rutherglen Waverley who competed in the same league in 1924–25 but did not appear again, possibly having been absorbed by the Bridgeton side.

A Zhengde Tongbao (正德通寶) fantasy cash coin charm featuring the image of a dragon and a fenghuang on its reverse. A number of marriage numismatic charms depict the image of a dragon and a fenghuang on their reverse sides, usually the obverse sides of these amulets often contain a cash coin inscription, fantasy cash coin inscription, or a more auspicious inscription related to either marriage or having plenty.

Mandel in his book Metal Charms and Amulets of China that the dragon and fenghuang actually represent the power of the imperial Chinese government where the dragon represents the Emperor and the fenghuang the Empress.
