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, viewing it as a guardian of the home's safety. People have long associated its strong vitality with longevity, its spreading leaves with the attraction of good fortune, and its golden-colored leaves with improved financial luck, imbuing the plant with their hopes and aspirations. **“Patterns of Happiness” Series Lineup** https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54552254037_665b7dd454_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 brighten up 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.
