Wishes and prayers contained in traditional patterns
[Plum design]
Plum blossoms for good health
These pretty flowers bloom proudly in the cold wind. With their faint sweet fragrance, they herald the early arrival of spring.
The vivid colors of red, pink, and white in the silent winter scenery make you feel the breath of life.
The oldest collection of Japanese poetry, the Manyoshu, contains many poems with the theme of plum blossoms, which have fascinated people since ancient times.
A lucky charm associated with ume is "Daifuku tea," a tea made with pickled ume and kelp to be drunk on New Year's Day.
The origin of this drink dates back to the mid-Heian period, when Emperor Murakami drank it when he was sick and recovered, and people began to drink it to pray for good health throughout the year.
