Hyotan-mon is an original Chiyogami pattern with a stylized gourd shaped motif. The gourd represents protection against evil and misfortune as well as prosperity for one's progeny. Also, the gourd has many other auspicious meanings as it is often used to make a play on words. Three gourds together (sanbyo) sounds like "sanbyoshi" meaning "ideal" or "complete", six together (mubyo) sounds like "mubyo sokusai" (hale and hearty), etc. We have blue, Gold and red patterns for you to download.
