Japanese symbolism:
Bamboo (Take 竹): Meaning: Bamboo symbolizes resilience, flexibility, and perseverance. It is pliable but does not easily break, a characteristic often associated with perseverance in difficult situations.
Blossom (Sakura 桜): Meaning: Blossom, especially that of the cherry blossom (sakura), symbolizes transience, beauty, and the passage of time. It also represents renewal and hope. The brief flowering period of the cherry blossom serves as a reminder of the fragility of life.
Pine (Den 松): Meaning: The pine symbolizes a long life, steadfastness, and strength. It is a common symbol in Japanese culture and is often associated with perseverance and immortality. The pine needles remain green even in winter, reinforcing the concept of persistence and eternity.
