The Fragrance of Iris and the Season of Fresh Greenery

May 5th marks the Tango no Sekku, a day to wish for strong growth.

We have added iris leaves to the dignified presence of white Japanese paper.
A wooden display stand holds kashiwamochi, a celebratory early summer sweet.

Simply place it, and a quiet space for prayer will be born in your room.

What is Tango no Sekku?

 

 

Tango no Sekku is one of the five seasonal festivals held on May 5th, also known as the Festival of Iris.

Originally, it was a custom to ward off evil spirits with iris and mugwort at the change of seasons and pray for good health.
Because iris sounds similar to the word for honoring martial arts, it eventually became a day for samurai families to pray for the growth of boys, and it has been passed down to today's Tango no Sekku.
It is a day to bathe in an iris bath, eat kashiwamochi, and pray for the healthy and strong growth of children.

A Decoration of Fresh Greenery to Ward Off Evil Spirits

Iris Leaf Decoration

Iris has long been considered to ward off evil spirits with its sword-like, upright leaves and strong fragrance,
making it an essential plant for Tango no Sekku.

Wrapped in white Japanese paper, we have added dignified green leaves.
The tied cord brings together the combination of white and green.

Wooden Display Stand

Supporting the decoration is a display stand with a soft wood grain.
The warmth of the wood harmonizes with the white Japanese paper.

You do not need to hang it on the wall; it can be displayed simply by placing it on a shelf, in a tokonoma alcove, at the entrance, or on a chest in the living room.

Seasonal Sweet [Kashiwamochi]

Kashiwamochi is an essential early summer celebratory sweet for Tango no Sekku.
Kashiwa leaves do not fall until new buds appear.
Therefore, it is considered a lucky charm symbolizing the continuity of a family line and is offered to pray for the prosperity of descendants.

Wrapped in kashiwa leaves, this soft mochi is a sweet perfect for the season of fresh greenery.

Add a kashiwamochi offering decoration to the Sanbo.
Together with the white Japanese paper, it quietly colors the early summer space of prayer.

The Beginning of Early Summer, Together with Prayer

A time to quietly join your hands in prayer at the seasonal turning point.

Iris leaves and traditional sweet decorations create a pure atmosphere in your room.
Why not pray for strong growth on Tango no Sekku?
