▶Main color ｜ 恋染紅葉 Koisome-Momiji(vivid yellowish red) ▶Pattern and Meaning ｜ 麻の葉 Asanoha(hemp leaf) - healthy growth, protection from evil. ▶Characters for the theme ｜ 炎 - en(flame) Each of the Japanese patterns has its meaning. "Asanoha" in the 11th pattern, the hexagonal geometric pattern is said to be named after the resemblance to the hemp leaf. Hemp, known for its strong fibers and association with sacred rituals, has been considered sacred as it purifies impurities. It is often used in baby clothes to protect against evil spirits and to wish for the child's healthy growth, mirroring the rapid growth of the hemp plant. The terrifying yet warm light burns and spreads like flames, scattering sparks and dancing in the air. Its ever-changing form and continuous growth are truly beautiful.
