Karaco
Karaco refers to depictions of Chinese Tang Dynasty children as decoration on ceramics and other artworks, they wear traditional Chinese dress and have hair gathered into top knots and shaves at the sides. They symbolise the innocence of childhood.
Peony
Known as the King of Flowers in Japan signifies good fortune, bravery and honour.
Acer
Acer or Japanese maple is a symbol of strength and endurance, it is often used in the art of Bonsai and it is traditional to go to view the changing colours of the leaves in Autumn, much like the cherry blossom is viewed in the spring.
Chrysanthemum
This flower represents longevity, nobility and rejuvenation, it is a symbol of Autumn (fall) and the motif is used to represent the imperial family and Japan itself.
Millefleur
Millefleur translates from the French for million flowers, it refers to a background style of many tiny flowers and plants. It first appears in art in the Medieval period in Europe, the style had a notable revival in the 19th century by William Morris.
