Flowing Water Pattern
The Ryusui pattern depicts flowing water in lines. The meaning of "flowing" is "to cast away evil," or to ward off evil spirits.
Flowing water also represents purity and is used to ward off fire.
Scale pattern, persimmon color
Scale patterns are reminiscent of snakes and butterflies, and were considered to be a pattern to ward off evil, as they shed their skins to shed their bad luck and "rebirth".
In addition, it was believed that triangles had the power to ward off evil, and since scales are used to protect oneself, scale patterns are also used to ward off evil.
Scale pattern, purple
Scale patterns in purple are effective in warding off evil and evil spirits.
During the Edo period (1603-1868), the use of expensive purple dyed with purple roots was forbidden due to the "prohibition of extravagance" that forbade extravagance.
A fan with a purple scale pattern, which has an expensive image, is used to ward off evil spirits.
Fundotsukizashi
This design is a series of patterns of weights used as a weight on a balance plate.
The weight has an interesting shape with a narrow center, and as a good omen, it was favored as one of the "hozu-zukushi" (treasure-supplying) motifs.
Takarazukushi is one of the auspicious patterns and refers to a collection of treasures.
Ume-komon
Ume (Japanese apricot) represents "endurance" over the cold winter and "vitality" that heralds the arrival of spring.
It is also considered a symbol of "abundance" since cherry blossom viewing was an event to pray for a good harvest, and of "prosperity of offspring" since many flowers bloom at once.
There are "Kozakura" and "Hananakada" patterns with scattered petals.
