MUSUBI KILN Father's Day Card

Express your warm wishes for Father's Day with MUSUBI KILN's "Happy Father’s Day" card. It can be sent as is or attached to a gift. 

Rendered in asamidori, a light green color with a tinge of yellow, the card evokes the freshness of greenery in early spring or summer. This traditional color has been recognized since the Nara period (710–794 CE). 

Featured on the corners of the card, origami paper cranes are seen as harbingers of good fortune and are imbued with wishes for longevity, happiness, and recovery from illness. As the Japanese proverb goes, "Cranes live for a thousand years, and tortoises for ten thousand years." The crane is especially revered as a symbol of longevity and considered an auspicious bird.

The design of the card is inspired by the "Genji Monogatari-zu Byobu," or Tale of Genji Scrolls, a national treasure often described as one of the most important works in Japanese art history. It vividly portrays scenes from The Tale of Genji, written by Murasaki Shikibu (973–1014 or 1025 CE).

We also offer a variety of greeting cards, such as "Happy Birthday" and "Thank You," so you can choose the one that best suits your occasion.
