Decorative designs containing pine trees, bamboo, and plum blossoms were considered auspicious. Simplified combinations of pine trees and plum blossoms also were used frequently in paintings and other works of art. For example, “Portrait of Tenjin” (Eisei Bunko Library), painted by Rinpa School painter Tatebayashi Kagei, depicts Sugawara-no-Michizane (845-903; posthumously deified as “Tenjin” (lit. heavenly deity) with plum blossoms and pine boughs in the background, as Lord Michizane was known to particularly favor these plants. Another example, the historical narrative Baisho-Ron (Discourse on Plums and Pines), of the Namboku-Cho (Southern and Northern Dynasties) Period, notes in its postscript that the title of the book was derived from the auspicious association of the two plants, the flowering plum standing for prosperity, and the ever green pine, for the eternal continuation of the family line.
