"Mi" (Snake) Paper Balloon – A Symbol of Prosperity and Protection
The character "巳" (Mi) represents a snake, a messenger of Benzaiten, the goddess of music, arts, and wealth. As a water deity, the snake is believed to bring rain, symbolizing bountiful harvests and business prosperity. White snakes, in particular, are associated with the element of metal in the Five Elements theory, making them a cherished symbol of financial luck and good fortune.
In 2025, the Year of the Snake (巳) will be celebrated, and this beautifully crafted paper balloon offers the perfect way to mark this special year while attracting prosperity and blessings.
This charming paper balloon features the "Mi" design from the iconic Rokushido collection. Made from traditional Awa Washi Paper, this simple yet elegant toy embodies the essence of Japan's folk art. Its gentle sway and nostalgic appeal make it a delightful decoration, perfect for hanging and showcasing in your home.
Add this charming piece to your space or give it as a thoughtful gift to bring prosperity and blessings.
