The zodiac sign for 2025 is the snake. Since ancient times, snakes have been considered symbols of rebirth and change, due to the way they shed their skin and grow large. They are also said to be messengers or incarnations of Benzaiten, one of the Seven Lucky Gods in Japan, who is famous for granting benefits in the arts, money, and wealth. In particular, white snakes are said to increase good luck, money, and growth, and to bring about longevity and prosperity of descendants.

Tatsumura Art Textiles has used the auspicious snake as a motif to create a wooden doll with an elegant appearance. We sincerely hope that ``good fortune'' will come to you through products using the new Kissho pattern.

※We are planning to ship them sequentially from mid-October.

KUSURI-DANA-NO HEBI(The Snake on the Medicine Cabinet)

While strolling through the towns in the European countries, you will often see a signboard drawing a snake at a pharmacy. A snake coiling around a champagne glass is called "The Bowl of Hygieia" which is used as a symbol of pharmaceutical sciences worldwide. Hygieia is a name of a goddess in Greek myth and said to govern a good health and to control the sanitation.
The design of this brocade is modeled after a medicine cabinet in an extant historic pharmacy in the East Europe, plus a snake pattern which is closely related with the pharmaceutical sciences. We designed, with an uplifting feeling, the line-up of various shapes of earthenware medicine containers as if stepping into a place where the long history is still breathing in the comfortable aroma of medical herbs. This concept was woven into a warp-patterned brocade in the brilliant colors.
