Blooming beautifully in the cold winter wind, these delicate flowers are the first to herald the arrival of spring with their faint sweet fragrance. The vivid colors of red, pink, and white against the quiet winter landscape evoke the breath of life. The Man'yōshū, Japan's oldest collection of poetry, contains many poems about plums, which have captivated people since ancient times. When it comes to lucky charms associated with plum blossoms, there is “Daifuku-cha,” a tea made with pickled plum and kelp, traditionally drunk on New Year's Day. Its origin dates back to the mid-Heian period when Emperor Murakami drank it while ill and recovered. It has since been drunk with the wish for a year of good health and peace. **“Patterns of Happiness” Series Lineup** https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54561760249_2a585c36c5_z.jpg Fuwa Market's “Happiness Patterns” series features six traditional patterns arranged in a modern design. ・Ginkgo Pattern (the sparkle of 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 symbolizes protection from evil) • Pine Tree Pattern (Pine trees symbolize prosperity) Choose your favorite pattern and add a touch of elegance to your desk area. **A masterpiece you'll want to own, perfect as a gift, thanks to the combination of craftsmanship and traditional patterns** The “Patterns of Happiness” series features special designs imbued with the wishes of traditional Japanese patterns.
