Description
-
"Main stencil" (omogata 主型).
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 plovers symbolise success as well as the safety and well-being of the home.
They are often depicted flying over waves. This motif is intended to evoke the certainty that “even the roughest waves can be overcome together”.
