Description
-
"Dyed ground" (jizomari 地染). Two kinds of pine trees: kasamatsu 笠松 ("plaited" hat) with branches spread on all sides and kōrinmatsu 光琳松, a pine tree motif in the manner of Ogata Kōrin 尾形光琳 (1658 - 1716).
Due to their long lifespan and good reproductive capacity, wisteria (fuji 藤) is considered auspicious and is frequently celebrated in the oldest poetry (Man'yōshū 万葉集). The wisteria was also the family crest of the Fujiwara clan.
The pattern of evergreen pine trees that withstand the severe winter cold is auspicious and a symbol of both longevity and sobriety, as well as the prosperity of the descendants.
