Description
    "Dyed ground" (jizomari 地染). Fukura suzume (fluffed sparrow) is an auspicious motif, as the name can also be written with the characters fuku福 (happiness), ra 良 (good) and suzume 雀 (sparrow) or with the characters fuku福 (happiness), rai来 (coming) and suzume 雀 (sparrow). Its 'fluffed and puffed-up' shape gives the impression of a good, carefree life. Bamboo (CHIKU/take 竹) is valued for its straight and strong growth. Since its does not wither even in winter, it represents immortality and longevity or strength, but also purity.
