It is known as a lucky tree because it bears many shiny red berries from late autumn to early winter, and its name, “nan-ten,” is read as “turning misfortune into good fortune.” It is also believed to ward off evil spirits when placed at the entrance of a house. 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 plant's strong vitality with longevity, its spreading leaves with the attraction of good fortune, and its golden-colored leaves with improved financial luck, projecting their hopes onto the form of the Nanten. **“Patterns of Happiness” Series Lineup** https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54561760249_2a585c36c5_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 Safety) • 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. **A unique item 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 that embody the wishes of traditional Japanese patterns.
