Kasamatsu is one of the typical pine tree patterns. The name "kasamatsu" comes from the pine trees leaves and branches, which spread out horizontally and look like a hat.
In East Asia, the pine tree is considered a symbol of longevity because of its bright green leaves, even in winter. In Japan, it is also called "everliving" because of its evergreen leaves, which are green all year round, and has been considered a lucky tree since ancient times. In Japan, it was considered to be a symbol of good fortune since ancient times. The kadomatsu, a pine tree decoration, which is put at the gate of a house at New Years, is a symbol of welcoming the gods.
