Spring design shows a Genji-mon with butterflies. The butterfly is considered to be a symbol of “the revival”
In Japan, it is used as the symbol of the incarnation of immortality, the immortality of a samurai.
This design is not so serious. It shows the return of spring and butterflies playing around the mon.

This design is from one of the Taste of Japanese Embroidery classes used to introduce students to Japanese Embroidery. Students without any experience can stitch it within four hours on a single day. Once the basic motif is completed, the student can stitch more of the design, if they wish to do so.
