「花七宝」

花七宝

円形を四分の一ずつ重ねて描いた七宝の文様には、円満、調和などの願いが込められており、円形の中に花を配したものを「花七宝」と呼びます。七宝とは仏教で金、銀、瑠璃、玻璃、珊瑚、瑪瑙、真珠を指し、円満であることは七宝と同等の価値があると言われています。

Hana-shippo (Overlapping Flower Circles)

The “shippo” pattern is drawn with overlapping circles and expresses wishes for harmony. When flowers are arranged within the circles, the pattern is known as “Flower Shippo.” In Buddhism, the word shippo refers to the “seven treasures:” gold, silver, lapis lazuli, crystal, coral, agate, and pearls. It is said that harmony is as valuable as these seven treasures.
