Wishes and prayers woven into traditional patterns
【Pattern of Happiness】
Plum blossom of health and disaster prevention
A delicate flower that blooms proudly amid the cold wind and snow. Along with its faintly sweet fragrance, it heralds the early arrival of spring.
The vivid red, pink, and white hues of the winter scene create a breath of life.
In Japan’s oldest song anthology “Manyoshu,” many songs remain that use the “plum blossom” as a theme, and it has long been admired by people.
Speaking of plum blossom motifs, it is the tea “Daifuku Tea” with plum branches and kunpu (dried citrus peel) originally drunk by Emperor Murakami during the Heian period when he was ill and recovered.
It became a custom to drink it while wishing for a year without illness or disaster.
