Both are harbingers of spring and are considered welcoming. Cherry trees bloom in early spring,when it is still cold. Tiny flowers appear without leaves,which arrive later in the year. This unique showing is seen as brave and inspiring hope,symbolic of the strength that comes from surviving a harsh winter,and the good fortune that comes with strength of character. In Chinese culture,the color red is very important. Red attracts good fortune and frightens away bad fortune. According to legend,the Chinese people were being terrorized by an enormous beast called the Nian,translating to,¡°Year¡± in English. The Nian would appear every New Year's Day,the first day of lunar calendar. Nian would devour the people's crops,livestock and even children. One New Year's Day,the people saw two things.

Susho is a 2500 year old family tradition, with a unique and fascinating history. Lotus flowers, or Chinese water lilies, grow in muddy ponds, close every night and open again at dawn, pristine and pure. In Feng Shui, lotus flowers are a powerful symbol of purity, one of the Eight Auspicious Symbols of Buddhism. In Buddhism, lotus blossoms symbolize the true nature of reality, the outward manifestation of inner beauty. Specifically, the lotus symbolizes the Buddha Guanyin. Although there are many conflicting stories about the origin of Guanyin, Guanyin is the symbol of purity, gentleness, compassion and mercy. One of the legends about the immortal Guanyin is she chose to manifest as woman with a thousand eyes and a thousand arms, so she could observe the suffering of the world and use her arms to help and comfort. Many Christians have a similar view of the Virgin Mary. Guanyin was born of a lotus, emerging from the mud clean and unspoiled, a completely natural beauty, pure and innocent. The lotus symbolizes purity, generosity and high status, royalty. The lotus is the mother of Guanyin and has similar qualities and so, often represents her.

Susho is a 2500 year old family tradition, with a unique and fascinating history. In Chinese symbology, irises are the dancing spirits of the early part of summer, and the petals are symbolic of butterfly wings, free and flying in the wind. Irises are called ¡°Purple Butterflies¡± Irises are characterized as inspiring faith, hope, wisdom and valor. Centuries ago, when Susho began to evolve from home furnishing and clothing, the Emperor and his court wanted wall art to decorate their palaces. The aristocrats favored natural scenes, wanting to capture the detail and texture of flora and fauna. Susho artists learned to please the taste of the elites, by making natural scenes as realistic as possible. Symbolically, the images were meant to permanently capture the essences and benefits of the subjects. Even an Emperor cannot keep an iris alive forever, but capturing its soul in silk will make it a captive, eternally.

Susho is a 2500 year old family tradition, with a unique and fascinating history. This inspiration for this Susho® was Vincent Van Gogh's Vase with Twelve Sunflowers, painted in Arles, France. Vincent van Gogh was born in Holland, where sunflowers are ubiquitous, and he painted many variations throughout his life. In 1888, Paul Gauguin invited van Gogh for a visit at his house in Arles, along with other artists, the plan was to paint together and share experiences. Earlier, while they were both in Paris, Gauguin traded one of his own paintings for 2 of van Gogh's sunflower paintings, so van Gogh knew his host enjoyed his sunflowers. He decided to paint a series of 5 as a gift, this is one of them. One of Van Gogh's most popular works, the original is hanging in Munich, Germany's Neue Pinakothek. Van Gogh love of layering paint, creating texture to evoke meaning, is beautifully recreated by our silk artists' mastery of layering stitches. In Feng Shui, the sunflower symbolizes longevity, good luck and success. Its yellow color signifies vitality, hardwork, intelligence and attracts wealth.
