A paper plate with a pattern of southern heaven on a traditional Japanese linen leaf pattern is suitable for celebration. Both the Nanten and the Asa-no-ha patterns have been considered to mean magic protection and protection from evil. Nanten, which has the same pronunciation as "Nanten," is regarded as a lucky tree with the power to turn disaster. Since ancient times, it has been used as a decoration for lucky charms, including the New Year, and has been planted at the entrance. The flower language of Nanten has the meaning of "bringing good fortune" and "a good family."

It is familiar as a wish for healthy growth, disease-free health, and the meaning of amulet and ward off evil.
