Gold Brocade with Young Pine Leaves

The motif is based on the wakamatsu pine tree, which is considered one of the most auspicious of all traditional Japanese patterns. The young pine tree is evergreen and remains bright green even in winter, and is considered a symbol of vitality and longevity. In addition, the growing pine tree represents “future development” and “prosperity,” making it a particularly popular design for celebratory and auspicious occasions.
