Design Description

Gourd Pattern: This design is believed to attract happiness and success. According to legend, sharing sake from a gourd beneath a plum tree is said to ward off evil spirits.

Dragon Scale Pattern: This pattern consists of repeating triangles resembling snake or dragon scales. These creatures grow larger by shedding their old skin, symbolizing renewal and the dispelling of malevolent forces. As such, this pattern is thought to protect against evil spirits and promote rejuvenation in one's life.
