About the Item

Early 20th cenrury classic screen with auspicious trees and shrubs Period: Meiji Size: 182x169 cm (71.6x66.5 inches) SKU: PTA149 The evergreen pine is universally known as the symbol of life. During the long and icy winter season, the evergreen does not lose its leaves nor its lush dark green color. This tree has the unique ability to withstand harsh winds and up to subzero temperatures. In Japanese culture, the pine tree is known to represent longevity, good fortune and steadfastness. It is commonly linked with virtue and long life, even immortality. The pine tree is iconic of the Japanese New Year, as a symbol of rebirth, renewal, and a bright (hopeful) future. Because of its sturdy root structure, it is a symbol of prosperity in Japan. For years, people were told to run into the bamboo groves in the event of an earthquake, because the bamboo's strong root structure would hold the earth together. Simple and unadorned, the bamboo is also symbolic of purity and innocence The camellia, also known as the tsubaki in Japanese, is a flower species that originates from Asia. It belongs to the family of tea plants and is cultivated extensively in many regions of Japan. In fact, it’s an important symbol of the country, having been used steeped in tradition for centuries. From its bright petals to its sweet nectar-like scent, it’s no wonder why this flower has been admired for so long. The red camellia has long been a symbol of beauty, grace and perseverance in Japanese culture. Its deep crimson petals evoke the vividness of a fiery sun while its delicate bloom serves to represent the infinite nature of life itself. It has become the embodiment of courage, resilience and strength owing to its fantastic ability to survive and thrive in even the harshest conditions. It is believed that those who wear or carry a red camellia can show their boldness in facing adversity with integrity and grace; thus, this timeless flower carries with it monumental symbolism. As the Plum tree blossoms between two seasons, it is also seen as a symbol of spring - bringing warmth, transition and the promise of fruitfulness. It’s perhaps for this reason that in Chinese mythology it is often written that immortals fed on plums to enhance their strength and vitality throughout the ages. Japanese tradition holds that the Plum (or ‘ume’) is celebrated as a protective charm against evil, so the ume is traditionally planted in the northeast of the garden, the direction from which evil is believed to come.
