｜What does the moon and the rabbit mean?

What is the meaning of the moon and rabbit?

When you look up at the full moon, the moon's shadow sometimes resembles a rabbit. In Japan, the "moon and rabbit" motif has long been a popular and auspicious motif.

It also embodies wishes such as "wishes coming true" and "prosperity for descendants."

｜How about autumn leaves and deer?

So, what about autumn leaves and deer?

"Deep in the mountains, the deer cry as they trample through the autumn leaves..."

Deer motifs, derived from classical waka poetry, not only reflect the autumn scenery but have also been treasured as auspicious motifs that wish for longevity.

｜Knowing the meaning of the designs makes choosing tableware even more fun

What do you all think?

Knowing the meaning of the designs makes choosing tableware that much more fun.

What's so great about Takayama's products is that they elegantly hide auspicious elements like these.

Please take a look.

Until next time.
