Wishes and prayers contained in plum patterns Plum without illness and disaster A pretty flower blooming dignified in the cold wind. With a faint sweet scent, it heralds the arrival of spring as soon as possible. The vivid colors of red, pink, and white in the quiet winter scenery make you feel even the breath of life. Japan's oldest songbook, "Manyoshu," contains many songs with the theme of "plums," which have fascinated people since ancient times. Speaking of auspicious charms associated with plums, "Daifukucha" is a tea with pickled plums and kelp that is drunk on New Year's Day. Its origin is that Emperor Murakami drank it when he was ill in the middle of the Heian period and recovered. I started drinking it while wishing for a year of good health. It is available in two colors: a warm red and a bright and pop yellow. Although it has a calm color, it has a unique personality, making it a perfect item to color your daily life. The modern Japanese design goes well with yukata and kimonos.  *Since it is made by cutting large fabrics, there are individual differences in the arrangement of the patterns.
