Those lucky enough to marry into wealth, whether it is through good fortune, scheming, or meticulous planning, are said to ride a jeweled palanquin.
As Otama's (お玉) name translates as 'jewel', you could also say "riding Otama's palanquin".

3) 堂々巡り📿 "Circling the temple hall" is similar to the English phrase "Going around in circles". It is yet another idiom born at Kiyomizu-dera. Pilgrims would circle the main hall, often many hundreds of times, as an act of faith. #Kiyomizudera #清水寺 #idioms
