Wishes and prayers embedded in the silver ginkgo leaf pattern
The silver ginkgo leaf symbolizes burning bright and calling good fortune
When thinking of autumn street trees, the ginkgo of Ichou comes to mind. The fan-shaped leaves dyed yellow like flames, and the road covered with golden fallen leaves create a scene that looks like a painting.
This beloved Ichou tree has great vitality and is said to live more than 1,000 years. Its life force is believed to be sacred, and it is often seen as a sacred tree at temples and shrines.
People have long wished for longevity from its strength of life, luck from the spreading leaves, and good fortune from the golden-colored leaves, making many wishes upon the form of the Ichou.
The colors are warm yellow tones,
A sleek two-color display of green series. While the colors blend harmoniously, each has its own character, making it ideal as an item that brightens your desk.
