Description
    "Dyed ground" (jizomari 地染). Bamboo (CHIKU/take 竹) is valued for its straight and strong growth. Since its does not wither even in winter, it represents immortality and longevity or strength, but also purity. Fukura suzume (fluffed sparrow) is an auspicious motif, as the name can also be written with the characters fuku福 (happiness), ra 良 (good) and suzume 雀 (sparrow) or with the characters fuku福 (happiness), rai来 (coming) and suzume 雀 (sparrow). Its 'fluffed and puffed-up' shape gives the impression of a good, carefree life.
