The "snake," due to its image of shedding skin and regenerating, has been a symbol of good fortune in Japan since ancient times, signifying **"rebirth," "good luck," and "attracting wealth."** 3. The "Nandina," which resembles a cherry from afar, carries the meaning of **"warding off misfortune."** 4. "Pine" is a symbol of **"immortality"** in Japan. Because pine trees retain their green leaves even in the harsh winter, they are seen as an emblem of "longevity." Furthermore, as the Japanese pronunciation of pine, "matsu," sounds identical to the word for "to wait," "matsu," there is a Japanese belief that pine trees are where deities await. Thus, the custom of placing pine branches by the door during the New Year, known as "Kadomatsu," is for deities to rest at the entrance of homes. 5. Size: Approx.
