「椿に分銅繋ぎ」

椿に分銅繋ぎ

円形の左右を弧形にくびれさせた形を繋いで図案化した、曲線が美しい分銅繋ぎ。分銅は、時の天下人が金や銀を分銅の形に鋳造し貯えたことから縁起物とされました。富の象徴である分銅と華やかな椿を組みあわせた吉祥文様です。

Tsubaki ni Fundo Tsunagi (Camellia on Counterweights)

This is a beautiful tessellation of rounded arcing shapes. These particular shapes are based on the shape of old Japanese counterbalances. Rulers would also use this shape to mold and store their gold and silver. This is an auspicious pattern that combines symbols of wealth with flourishing camellia flowers.
