Edo fan No. 30　Asano-ha deisign　Marble　Light Pink

Asano-ha deisign What Is a Pattern?

Asano-ha deisign grows so rapidly—reaching 4 meters in just four months—and shoots straight upward, so it symbolizes the wish for a child’s healthy growth.

Additionally, the “Asano-ha deisign” pattern is believed to ward off evil spirits and has long been a popular design for newborn garments.

What Is the “Temari” Pattern?

The “temari” pattern—which is also used on furisode kimonos worn for Coming-of-Age ceremonies—highlights a woman’s delicate charm.

While the temari is a toy for girls, it also embodies parents’ wishes for their children’s happiness, such as “may the child grow up plump and healthy” and “may everything work out smoothly.”

Additionally, there is a custom of including a kimono with the temari pattern as a talisman in a bride’s dowry, imbued with the wish that she may build a harmonious family.

The “temari pattern” also serves as a talisman that protects women throughout their lives, from childhood through adulthood.

This pale pink Edo fan combines “Asano-ha deisign” with the “temari” motif.
