The gourd is a member of the plant family Cucurbitaceae and a relative of the Pumpkin. When dried, its fruit can be hollowed out and used as a container. It is also used as food.
Most commonly depicted on Danbooru is the dumbbell-shaped fruit of the bottle gourd, or calabash, which can be used to hold liquids like Sake.
