Wishes and prayers contained in pine patterns Pine is a symbol of prosperity Pine is a plant that has long been loved by the Japanese as a sacred symbol. We have repeatedly wished for "immortality and longevity" in the appearance of maintaining lush leaves even in the cold winter, and "prosperity of descendants" in the characteristic of male and female flowers blooming in one plant. Since the Edo period, it has become an indispensable presence in daily life from performing arts, such as being painted on the board wall of Noh stages and making kadomatsu to welcome the god of the year in the new year. The strong vitality and beauty of pine trees are still loved by many people today. The colors are available in two colors: green, which is a healing color, and warm orange. Although it has a calm color, it has a personality and gently adds a touch of glamour to your desk. *Since it is made by cutting large paper, there are individual differences in the arrangement of the pattern. Please note.
