Article Title: Three Treasures (Japanese Household)

The 'Three Treasures' (三種の仁義、さんしゅのじんぎ) typically refers to the three sacred objects of the Imperial Household of Japan. However, in the 1950s, this term had an alternate meaning: The three objects highly prized by households to increase their standard of living. These three objects were the refrigerator, the washing machine, and the black-and-white television. In the 1960s this term would come to refer to the three C's: Color TV, Car, and Cooler (air conditioner). Later generations have occassionally had their own "Three Treasures," however, which three items they refer to has not been canonized.
