Nanten, the protection against evil
Nanten is a plant passed down from ancient China during the Heian period, treasured as a medicinal herb to ward off evil.
From late autumn to early winter, it bears many gentle red berries, symbolizing the wish to "turn hardships into blessings." It is cherished as a protective tree.
Also, planting it near the home is believed to ward off evil spirits.
The Hyakugaku Encyclopedia from the Edo period states, "Planting Nanten prevents fires," and many households planted it as a fire prevention measure to protect their homes.
People have long wished for vitality with longevity, luck with the spreading leaves, and prosperity with the golden-colored leaves, expressing many hopes in the shape of the plant.
