This set includes 3 small square plats with:
- Carp fish and lotus design
- Shojo design
- Bat and peach design
The first one has a carp fish and lotus design. Carp fish is one of the main Japanese symbols of luck and good fortune. In Japanese, carp is called koi. Koi also means “love”. As a result, carp fish is seen as a romantic symbol. But not only. Being a fish that swims against the river flow, it also represents tenacity, perseverance in adversity, and the ability to achieve one’s goal.
The second one has a Shojo design. It is a mythical creature from Japan folklore. It is a sea spirit who is fond for alcohol. You can only see his back and can use our imagination to guess where he is heading at.
The third one is a bat and peach design. Bats were very popular in Japanese culture and were seen as a symbole of good luck until the 20th century. You could find a lot of items with bat designs: kimono, pottery,... Nowadays, unfortunately, they are less and less popular, and not used as often. As for peaches, there are seen as a symbole of fertility. You might have heard of the story of Momotaro, the boy born from a peach.
