Bamboeblad met kombu, kliswortel en hemelse bamboe
All these plants are associated with prosperity for the New Year. Like burdock root, the dark kombu (a kind of seaweed) is an ingredient in special New Year’s tea. The ‘heavenly bamboo’ branches with berries are used in New Year’s decorations. This surimono was originally much larger, but unfortunately the poems were cut off in the past.
