梅に尾長鳥
梅は、百花に先がけ寒中に咲き誇り芳香を放つことから、古来より縁起の良い花とされてきました。尾長鳥とは、山鳥や鶺鴒（せきれい）などの尾が長い鳥を理想的な姿に意匠化したもの。
この文様は、そんな梅の木に留まって羽を休ませる尾長鳥を配した、優雅な吉祥文様です。
Ume ni Onagadori (Plum Blossoms and Long-Tailed Fowls)
The plum blossom is the first of all varieties of flowers that goes into full bloom and giving off its fragrance in mid-winter. Accordingly, it has come to be regarded as a flower of good omen from ancient times. An “Onagadori” is an imaginary bird. So we used birds that have long tails like the copper pheasant and wagtail as models in designing an ideal form for the “Onagadori”. This is an elegant and auspicious design with “Onagadori” resting its wings and perched on a plum tree which in full bloom.
