The term "momiji" (autumn leaves) refers in the narrow sense to maple trees that have a particularly striking red color (as opposed to yellow leaves) within the broader definition of "koyo" (autumn leaves), and is a general term for maple trees. In a more narrow sense, the term "momiji" refers to a specific type of maple tree. Among maples, the Japanese maple family, whose leaves have deep incisions that resemble a baby's hand, are very popular and beautiful, and it is said that the name "momiji" came to represent the leaves that look like an outstretched human hand. Maples are widely distributed around the world, but only a few species of maple trees, commonly known as momiji, grow naturally in China and the Korean peninsula, and the rest are found in the Japanese archipelago, making Japan a treasure trove of maple family plants. Maple trees, also known as momiji, are the very representative plants of autumn in Japan. Diameter: Approx. 20mm SILVER925 Brass Bronze It can also be worn as a bracelet.
