Description
-
"Dyed ground" (jizomari 地染).
Kasamatsu 笠松: "plaited" hat pine tree; pine tree with branches spread on all sides.
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.
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”.
