Express your gratitude with MUSUBI KILN's "Thank You" card. It can be sent as it is or attached to a gift.

This color, known as "Shiro-ai" or "Shiroki-ai," dates back to the Heian period (794 CE – 1185 CE) and is seen in historic texts. It is the lightest color used in indigo dyeing, it’s a pale blue with a hint of yellow. Interestingly, the color "Skytree White," used in Tokyo Skytree, the world's highest free-standing broadcasting tower, is inspired by Shiro-ai.

Ume, or plum blossoms, bloom refreshingly early in spring. Loved since ancient times for their shape, branch form, and fragrance, they were the symbol for "flowers" before being replaced by sakura. Ume is also associated with the five blessings, symbolizing fortune, prosperity, longevity, joy, and wealth, and combined with pine and bamboo, it forms the auspicious "Sho-Chiku-Bai" (Pines, Bamboo, Plum).

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

We also have "Happy Birthday" and "Happy Holidays!" greeting cards, so please choose the one that best suits your purpose.
