We are grateful. We look forward to your continued patronage this year. (It's nice that they've become DRY.) We heard this comment, so we've added last year's items (image 6). Please enjoy them throughout the year. Let's drive out the evil spirits and disasters (demons) that appear during the changing of the seasons and invite good fortune in their place. Holly branches, nandina berries & leaves, aoki, hinoki, chili peppers The thorns of the holly branches are prickly. They have been believed to ward off evil since ancient times and are indispensable for Setsubun decorations. This will keep the demons out of the house. The red color of the chili peppers is used as a charm against evil. Nandina has been used since ancient times as an auspicious item to turn away misfortune, and is still used today as an auspicious item and for warding off evil. The flower language of nandina includes the words (My love only increases), (Witty), (Bringing good fortune), and (A good home). Aoki and Hinoki are evergreen trees that are green all year round, symbolizing eternal life and are auspicious for longevity. Size: 25 cm x 30 cm A4 size is a rough guide.
