Hatsuyume Brooch Set

The first dream of the New Year, or "Hatsuyume," refers to the dream seen on the first night of sleep after welcoming the new year. While there are various theories depending on living environments, it is now generally understood to be the dream experienced from New Year's Eve to January 2nd. The auspicious "first dream" items are said to be "One Fuji (mountain), Two Hawks, Three Eggplants." One theory suggests these were favored by Tokugawa Ieyasu, while others interpret "Fuji" as meaning "peace and safety," "Hawks" as "high status," and "Eggplants" as "achieving goals." Please enjoy these brooches with a Japanese aesthetic. They are presented in a sophisticated, sturdy white gift box. We highly recommend them as a gift of good fortune, a souvenir for international visitors, or for birthdays and anniversaries. Each piece is formed by hardening original illustrations with a combination of flexible and rigid resins. Particular attention is paid to using flexible resin for delicate parts and fine tips, ensuring they are slightly softer to prevent breakage or snagging during use. Finally, a glossy finish with UV-cut protection is applied, resulting in lightweight and lustrous brooches. [Size] Fuji: Approximately 35mm x 20mm (with a 20mm rotating lock pin) Taka (Hawk): Approximately 20mm x 35mm (with a 20mm rotating lock pin) Nasubi (Eggplant): Approximately 20mm x 25mm (with a 20mm rotating lock pin) ★ This item will be delivered in a gift box ★ ★ Brooch orders placed during the year-end and Christmas season will include a "Merry Xmas & Happy New Year" card ★ At hiish, we hope to bring a little joy upon opening your package.

Please let us know if you require this service. [Care Instructions] Due to the nature of UV resin products, they are sensitive to heat and may discolor over time with prolonged UV exposure. Although a UV-cut coating is applied, please avoid storing them in direct sunlight and handle with care. Additionally, some pieces incorporate rhinestones or chains, so please be mindful of potential snags on clothing or skin. We recommend cleaning with a soft cloth, such as a lens cloth or microfiber cloth.
