Momo-mon is an original Chiyogami pattern strewn with peach fruits, which symbolize longevity. The symbolism comes from an ancient Chinese legend of a magical tree that bears fruit once in every three thousand years. Those who eat of its fruit will have long life. In Japan, legend told how the peach was used to chase away devils and so it was regarded as having spiritual qualities that could be used to ward off evil. Also, because of the Momotaro (Peach Boy) fairytale, the peach has come to represent good fortune and victory. We have pink, green and light blue patterns for you to download.
