Produced by artisans’ handiwork, please experience the charm of this blend of color and warmth.

Wishes and prayers woven into traditional patterns

[Silver Leaf Pattern]

Warming silver leaves calling good luck

When you think of autumn street trees, you think of the Ichou (ginkgo) tree. The fan-shaped leaves are dyed yellow, and the streets look like golden carpets.

The scenery looks like a picture book. This Ichou tree is very vibrant and has a lifespan exceeding 1000 years. 

It is said that a sacred spirit dwells in this life force, and it is often seen as a sacred tree at temples and shrines. 

People have wished for longevity from its strong life force, for luck from the spreading leaves, and for good fortune from the golden-colored leaves, making many wishes upon the shape of the Ichou tree.
