Gourd hyoutan

Gourd is a plant that has been closely related to people's lives since ancient times. Light and durable gourds were convenient plants as water bottles for carrying drinks and containers for plant seeds. Such gourd has many meanings as a traditional Japanese pattern. Gourd is a symbol of prosperity of descendants because many seeds can be obtained from one fruit. It also has the meaning of "prosperous business" because it is entwined with things and bears many fruits. Furthermore, due to its unique shape, it also means "apotropaic magic" or "amulet" that sucks bad things and keeps them out. In particular, the six gourds are said to lead to "mubyo," that is, "no illness." It is a rare pattern that has so many meanings. The gourd pattern, which was popular in the Taisho era in Japan, has been redesigned in a modern style at Kaido. Somehow retro, but the modern design is perfect for everyday use. It is a motif suitable for wedding celebrations, cheerful celebrations, and opening celebrations. ◆ Specifications Pin: Circular (2 cm in diameter) Coating: Gold leaf, lacquer, platinum Stand: Natural wood Paulownia box: W: 5cm x H: 5cm x D: 3cm (inside dimensions) ◆ Caution Since each piece is hand-painted, uneven painting may occur.
