It's that time of year again, when we are enveloped in the warmth of spring, making us nostalgic for the colder months!
Spring is when many different plants and animals come out of hibernation.
In normal years, there would be a lot of celebrations like cherry blossom viewing! The new semester has begun! But in this current situation, even though it's a time when we can meet more people, we have to avoid contact as much as possible...
I hope these days will end soon.
I would like to introduce some products that will help you overcome this gloomy atmosphere and make the perfect birthday present!
April's birth flower
The birth flower for April is the alstroemeria, a flower native to South America!
The Japanese name for alstroemeria is "Yurizuisen" (lily daffodil). It is also sometimes called "Yumeyurisou" (dream lily grass) or "Incanoyuri" (Inca lily).
When you hear the word "lily," you may think of a pale, ephemeral flower, but the impression is that there are many flowers in vibrant colors such as yellow and vibrant, reddish pink.
Introducing products based on birth flowers
We will introduce products with a lily motif that are perfect as gifts, in line with the Japanese name for alstroemeria!

lily
It has long been said that there are eight million gods in Japan, but there are stories about gods not only in Japan but in every country as well.
However, it was a bit extreme, so I won't show it here...
It's a great source of trivia about yuri stories related to gods that will make you go, "Oh, I see!" so it might be worth giving it a try!
The language of flowers varies depending on the color of the lily, but the language of flowers for lilies is "purity" or "dignity," while the language of flowers for white lilies is "purity," "chastity," and "nobility," which in France are associated with the Virgin Mary.
The meaning of flowers makes them perfect as gifts!
This silver hairpin has a delicate and graceful motif of a single white lily.
The large lily and small buds, which are carefully painted to capture the soft texture of the petals, are finished with a white finish, a technique unique to silver.
The leaves, pistils, stamens, and stems are carefully carved with each vein carefully crafted, and are made of matte brass.
The contrast between the soft gold and silver creates a luxurious feel.
Because it is made of silver, the price is a little higher, but it can be used for a long time and is made of durable, thick brass, so there is no risk of it bending if you apply too much force!
The hairpin expresses the ephemeral yet powerful lily in three dimensions, so why not consider it as a gift for your hair accessory?
The bold design features blooming lilies, creating a retro-modern impression.
The sharp contrast between the pink beige and navy blue lilies creates a chic atmosphere.
What is Azuma bag?
This is a thin cloth similar to the furoshiki used to wrap bento boxes or small items, and comes with a handle that makes it easy to carry and use as packaging when giving gifts to customers.
It's perfect for entertaining guests in a Japanese-style setting!
Furthermore, this product can be used when you go outside to play with your children, so it is recommended for those with children!
Flowers that bloom in April
We have selected flowers that bloom in April that are perfect for gifts, so why not use them to find a motif for your gift?
・Violet
Speaking of violets, they are cute flowers with small purple petals that can sometimes be found blooming on roadsides!
Purple has become such a famous color that it is called "violet" in English!
The flower language of the violet, which is mainly purple, is "chastity" and "love," and chastity means not opening one's heart to anyone other than the person one truly loves.
With this meaning, violets, whose flower language is "chastity" and "love," are a flower that seems to represent a lady!
By the way, the overall meaning of the violet flower is "humility" and "sincerity"... (whisper)
・Clover (Trifolium repens)
Modern Painting Mansaku Urushi Chopsticks - White Clover
Chopsticks from the "Modern Painting" series, featuring plants depicted in a modern style
Clover is famous for being a four-leaf clover, but its official name is "white clover."
Each leaf has a meaning: "hope," "happiness," "love," and "faith," and it is these meanings that have been said since ancient times to be good charms and to make wishes come true!
April Events
·Easter
Speaking of events and celebrations in April, there's one that's a little bigger: Easter!
This is an event that is not so familiar in Japan,
For people overseas, this is a celebratory event that commemorates the resurrection of Jesus Christ three days later!
We will introduce products that resemble Easter bunnies and Easter eggs.
The actual events mainly involve celebrating by eating lavish food, and searching for and decorating rabbits and eggs as symbols of the birth of life.
They decorate "Easter eggs" by painting the inside of the eggs beautifully with paint, and play a game of hiding and searching for them like a treasure hunt.
Also, rabbits, which are blessed with many children, are a symbol of life and are indispensable at Easter, which celebrates the resurrection and prosperity of life, so they are called the "Easter Bunny"!
・New semester, new life
It's an important event that takes place amid falling cherry blossoms.
This is a time when you will feel a lot of anxiety and excitement about your new life, and it is a time when you will meet many different people, including new friends, seniors, juniors, and superiors.
We will introduce products that will suit your new lifestyle.
We've packed it with products that are recommended for work and school!
With the environment changing in many ways and the current situation, I think there will be some things that don't go well.
Don't try to overcome everything at once, but tackle it one thing at a time.
Conclusion
I hope that this product will resonate with those who are giving gifts and those who are currently looking at it.
The ichi also has many other attractive products that we were unable to introduce here, so please come and visit us.
