All items in the game (except for the cards) are collected from treasure chests. Treasure chests can only be opened if Gaou can hit them with a chisel. This means Gaou cannot open chests that lie at Gaou's feet unless he can position himself lower than the chest. Once a chest is open, the contents will be displayed and can be collected.
