Their evergreen leaves even in harsh winters symbolize “eternal youth and longevity,” while the fact that male and female flowers bloom on the same tree represents the wish for “prosperity and abundance of descendants.” Since the Edo period, it has been regarded as a plant inhabited by gods, depicted on the wooden walls of Noh theater stages, and used to create kadomatsu (gate decorations) to welcome the New Year deity. It has become an indispensable part of both performing arts and daily life. The strong vitality and beauty of the pine tree continue to be cherished by many people even today. **“Patterns of Happiness” Series Lineup** https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54561769399_dc3852b2b6_z.jpg Fuwa Market's “Happiness Patterns” series features six traditional patterns reimagined in a modern design. ・Ginkgo Pattern (The glittering ginkgo, bringing good luck) • Checkered Pattern (Elegant checkered design, traditional beauty) • Plum Blossom Pattern (Plum blossoms symbolize good health and longevity) • Blue Wave Pattern (Endless waves symbolize abundance) • Southern Sky Pattern (Southern sky pattern for protection against evil) • Pine Tree Pattern (Pine trees symbolize prosperity) Choose your favorite pattern and add a touch of elegance to your daily life.
