Blooming gracefully in the biting cold, the delicate flowers herald the arrival of spring with their subtle sweet fragrance. The vibrant colors of red, pink, and white against the still winter landscape evoke the very essence of life. The “Manyoshu,” Japan's oldest collection of poetry, contains many poems about plums, which have captivated people since ancient times. A traditional plum-themed good luck charm is “Daifuku-cha,” a tea made with pickled plums and kelp, drunk on New Year's Day. Its origin dates back to the Heian period when Emperor Murakami drank it while ill and recovered, leading to the tradition of drinking it to wish for a year of good health. **“Patterns of Happiness” Series Lineup** https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54561769399_dc3852b2b6_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 Good Health and Peace) • Blue Wave Pattern (Endless Waves Symbolize Abundance) • Southern Sky Pattern (Southern Sky for Warding Off Evil) • Pine Pattern (Pine is a Symbol of Prosperity) Choose your favorite pattern and add a touch of elegance to your daily life. “Craftsmanship × Traditional Patterns”—a must-have item that makes the perfect gift The “Patterns of Happiness” series features special designs that embody the wishes associated with traditional Japanese patterns.
