What is Hana-Moji (Floral Symbols)?

Hana-Moji (Floral Symbols)is a traditional Chinese art form with a history of over 2,000 years.

The dragons, cranes, phoenixes, suns, butterflies, birds, flowers, and other patterns folded into the letters are not only beautiful, but each has its own Feng Shui meaning, such as success, health, and increased luck, and is said to bring good fortune to the owner.

For this reason, it has been a custom in China since ancient times for emperors to have feng shui painters draw floral characters to wish for good fortune.

Even today, Hana-Moji is loved as gifts for special occasions and as art interior decorations for rooms, with wishes of good fortune, good luck, health, and longevity.
