Wishes and Prayers Embedded in Traditional Patterns
[Pine Pattern]
Pine is a Symbol of Prosperity
The pine tree is a plant that Japanese people have long loved as a sacred symbol.
Even in the cold winter, it keeps its green leaves, symbolizing “longevity” and “immortality.” The pine, along with the plum and cherry blossoms blooming on a single branch, represents the wish for “prosperity of descendants.”
Since the Edo period, pine has been regarded as a plant where gods dwell, depicted on Noh stage backdrops, and pine gates are made to welcome the New Year gods. It has become an indispensable presence for prosperity and celebration.
The strong vitality and beauty of pine are loved by many people even today.
The colors are a green series representing the color of sprouting buds,
and a warm orange series in two colors. While displaying a harmonious blend of colors, each has its own personality, making it perfect for brightening up your tea time.
※ Because large sheets are cut to make these, there are individual differences in the grain arrangement. Please understand this in advance.
