Respect for the Aged Day Present Mug Pair Set of 2 Arita Ware Message Card Included Microwave Safe Kissho Shochikubai

The ``Shochiku-bai'' motif is a composition that has been popular as an auspicious pattern since ancient times. ``Pine'' is a symbol of ``long life'' because it does not wither even in the cold winter and maintains its dignified appearance, ``bamboo'' is a symbol of ``growth and vitality'' because it is strong and grows quickly, and ``plum'' is a symbol of ``growth and vitality'' as it grows older. It is also depicted as a symbol of beauty and nobility as it blooms beautifully in early spring. Arita porcelain craftsmen have hand-drawn each design, perfect for various celebrations and souvenirs.
