It is known for its glossy red berries that appear from late autumn to early winter, and its name “nanaten” (literally “turning difficulty into good fortune”) has led it to be cherished as a lucky charm symbolizing the transformation of adversity into blessings. It is also believed to ward off evil spirits when placed at the entrance of a home. In an encyclopedia from the Edo period, it is written that “planting Nanten prevents fires,” and many households planted it in unlucky directions as a “fire-preventing” measure, believing it to protect the safety of the home. People have long associated the strong vitality of the plant with longevity, the spreading leaves with attracting good fortune, and the golden-colored leaves with improving financial luck, projecting their hopes onto the form of the Nanten. **“Patterns of Happiness” Series Lineup** https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54561825588_3586bcd492_z.jpg Fuwa Market's “Patterns of Happiness” series features six traditional patterns reimagined in a modern design. • Ginkgo Pattern (Ginkgo's Shimmer, Bringing Good Luck) • Checkered Pattern (Elegant Checkered, Traditional Beauty) • Plum Pattern (Plum for Health and Longevity) • Blue Wave Pattern (Endless Waves Symbolizing Abundance) • Southern Sky Pattern (Southern Sky for Protection) • Pine Pattern (Pine as a Symbol of Prosperity) Choose your favorite pattern and add a touch of elegance to your desk.
