"Four Seasons" Wrapping Paper Set 475 x 680 mm

Celebrate your big day in Japanese style!

• a set of wrapping papers adorned with reproductions of my acrylic paintings featuring motifs typical for the seasons in Japan
• the set contains 4 pieces of wrapping paper - one of each motif

Spring:

• purple wrapping paper with sakura, magnolia, and a bird
• in Japan, Hanami, the cherry blossom festivals, are celebrated every summer
• the magnolia in Japan is associated with the emperor. It was a great honor if the ruler gifted someone a magnolia bush
• birds on various trees or bushes are a very popular motif in Japanese painting

Summer:

• blue wrapping paper with Koi carp and a moon reflection on the water surface
• Koi carp bring good luck, they are a symbol of love and friendship
• on the paper, you will also find 8 constellations that are visible in the night sky in Japan
• two carp are symbols of yin and yang - symbolizing harmony and balance

Autumn:

• red wrapping paper with motifs of an autumn park in Japan
• maple trees symbolize the transience of life; their leaves change color from yellow through orange to red
• ginkgo trees are sacred and were often planted near Shinto shrines
• the spider lily in Japanese mythology "guides the dead" and is a reminder of transience
• the chrysanthemum in Japan is a symbol of the emperor and the imperial family

Winter:

• green paper with the traditional East Asian motif of the Three Friends of Winter
• these plants are appreciated in Japanese culture for their resilience to cold and symbolize perseverance, determination, and indomitability
• this motif is also associated with New Year celebrations
• bamboo remains green all year round. It does not break under the onslaught of wind, and therefore it is worthy of admiration
• the pine tree and its resilience, with which it can survive on rocks, is an encouragement to man in difficult times
• the plum tree blossoms already at the end of winter, often still under snow. The five petals in its flower symbolize five kinds of happiness
