Beautiful flower language

Hello everyone.

It's already April this week! Today, I'd like to talk about flower-themed items that are perfect for the spring season and the wonderful language of flowers.

First up is the well-known lucky item , the four-leaf clover .

The clover is the national flower of Ireland.

In Ireland, the clover pattern has long been believed to have protective powers, and was called "shamrock" by the ancient Celts and used as a talisman.

Shamrock is also known as a " sacred plant" because St. Patrick used its three leaves to explain the Christian "Trinity."

*Saint Patrick is the saint who brought Christianity to Ireland.

Even today, in Ireland, March 17th is celebrated as "Saint Patrick's Day" and people decorate and wear clovers.

It seems that a four-leaf clover, which has one more leaf than a three-leaf clover, is even luckier!

The flower language of the four-leaf clover is "be mine" and "good luck."

Each piece has a meaning: 1) fame, 2) wealth, 3) fulfilling love, and 4) excellent health. When all four are together, it is said to represent "True love."

Next up are the violets/pansies.

The flower language of violets is "humility," "sincerity," and "small happiness." These flower language are perfect for the lovely violet flower.

Pansies, which are also in the Violaceae family, were named after the French word "pensées" (thoughts), referring to their pensive appearance. The flower's meaning is "pensive" or "thoughtful."

In Europe, this flower is used as a gift to convey love.

*****************************************************************

This is a daisy. The flower's meaning is "secret love," "true friendship," and "true love."

When you think of daisies, you may have a strong image of love fortune telling. The flower's meaning of "secret love" is said to come from this.

The flower's meaning of "true love" is said to have come from the fact that daisies were dedicated to Artemis, the patron goddess of women in Greek mythology, and thus represents the greatest happiness a woman can desire.

Lastly, there is the rose, which is used in many different motifs and items.

The overall floral language of roses is "love" and "beauty," but the meanings vary depending on the number and color!

It is said that when Aphrodite, the goddess of love, beauty, and sexuality, was born , the earth said, "I can create something just as beautiful as the gods," and created the rose.

The rose on the left is the coat of arms of the White Rose. In medieval England, the red rose was the symbol of the House of Lancaster, and the white rose was the symbol of the House of Yorkshire. The "Tudor Rose", created to commemorate the end of the "War of the Roses", a conflict between the two houses, is still considered a symbol of England today.

There are many different motifs hidden in RUKA products, so please look for them! Also, if you see any products that interest you, please feel free to contact us♪
