Japanese name/ 矢羽根 (Yabane)

-About-
Yabane is an auspicious design based on hawk, eagle, and other bird feathers which were used in Japanese. Its pattern is associated with the Japanese saying that “an arrow fired, never returns”… A symbol for moving forward.

Especially in the Edo-era (1603-1868) the Yabane pattern was worn at wedding ceremonies as a symbol of a bright future and at graduations to represent unwavering determination.

Kiku, or chrysanthemums, were introduced to Japan via China in the Nara-era (710-794) and when combined with Yabane, traditionally symbolize the wish for a life blessed with everlasting joy and happiness.
