| The owl was favored for auspicious puns such as “fukurou” (owl) sounding like ‘fukurou’ (no hardship) and “fukurou” (blessed elder). This Fuchi-kashira depicts an owl perched on a branch. It is a吉祥図 (auspicious design) featuring the owl alongside ivy, which symbolizes continuous growth and the prosperity of descendants as it spreads, and bamboo, long regarded as a symbol of longevity and warding off misfortune. |
