Kirigami 8: Lucky Symbols (Kirigami)

Rating:
Summary: Kirigami 8
Review: This book is the final book in the series of eight books. It contains 24 patterns that are considered to be lucky symbols. The lucky symbols include bamboo leaves, dahilias, and maple leaves for good fortune. Designs used in jade which was worn to repel evil spirits. Birds such as doves, geese, magpies, and the phoenix which represents peace, happiness and good fortune. Double happiness symbols where the left side of the pattern is the mirror image of the right side. For a bride and groom this is a wish for them "to stick to each other till their hair turns grey" and to "have a harmonious union lasting a hundred years". The book also contains flower blossom patterns which represent perfection, blessedness, prosperity and joy. And the final patterns are the longevity patterns used to wish one good fortune and a long life.
