This is a design called "Asa-no-ha" (hemp leaf). Six crystals are arranged in the center. It's a small piece, made on a 20cm square panel of burnt paulownia wood. The Asa-no-ha pattern is considered auspicious. Hemp leaves grow quickly and straight, so the Asa-no-ha pattern is said to represent a wish for the healthy growth of children. It is also said to ward off evil, and has been used as a pattern for baby clothes since ancient times. Crystals Crystals are particularly popular among power stones. They have various effects and meanings, and are generally said to purify, activate, and enhance intuition and insight. They are also said to calm the mind and relieve stress. The "black" of the burnt paulownia wood is the color of protection. The "white" of the glossy white thread has meanings such as "purity" and "sacredness," and also has the power of purification. This is a handmade work.
