Non-Items

Shiren 5 occasionally refers to "items" such as "the dice of fate" or "mom's special onigiri". These are not actually items per the game mechanics and they do not show up in your Item Book. Some of these are tracked as game state within your game diary, and others are just for color. See Goals for more info.

Oddly, some items such as Dirt and flowers are tracked as real items in your Item Book, but they can never exist outside of Pots.

There is also a family of monsters similar to mimics in D&D that pretend to be items, revealing themselves upon various events such as trying to pick them up or trying to use them. Some of these monsters can even exist in your inventory for extended periods of time. These are not tracked in the Item Book but are tracked in the Monster Book.

The above two links have been replicated to all sub-pages for item categories because (at least for now) they have lots of information that hasn't yet been fully replicated to this wiki. Here are two additional, condensed item checklists, suitable for either printing and carrying with your PSVita, or viewing on a mobile phone especially in low light:
