It originates from the Japanese craft of "Kumiko," a masterful woodworking technique also commonly found in early Taiwanese architecture, particularly in the Lukang region. The Origin and Meaning of the Seven Treasures Pattern As the name suggests, the Seven Treasures pattern is associated with the Buddhist concept of "Seven Treasures," representing seven precious Buddhist jewels such as gold, silver, and lapis lazuli. This motif is composed of overlapping circular or square patterns, forming a continuous, interconnected design. Consequently, the Seven Treasures pattern carries deeply auspicious meanings in culture: Abundant Wealth: The continuous circular shapes symbolize unending financial prosperity and vitality. Good Fortune and Blessings: Each circle represents completeness, and the interlocking circles signify multiple layers of good luck and blessings. Family Harmony: The interwoven circles also symbolize the close bonds and harmony among family members. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54717464512_80c66d76f6_b.jpg The Beauty of Craftsmanship The most remarkable aspect of the Seven Treasures Window Grille lies in its exquisite craftsmanship.
