A "Gift of Wishes" to gently support your mother's back—a one-of-a-kind amulet cloth for Mother's Day

Unchanging gratitude amid changing days

Mother's Day is just around the corner. While carnations are lovely, have you ever thought about giving your mother something that touches her heart a little deeper this year? A mother who is busy every day, diligently working for others. How wonderful would it be if there was an "amulet" that, in an unguarded moment, reminded her of her own happiness and health, allowing her to relax?

 

Memories of "prayers" inherited from Hina dolls

HARUMEKI originates from Hina dolls. The finest "kinran" brocade fabric worn by the dolls embodies the earnest prayers of parents for their children's healthy growth, stitch by stitch. The leftover fabric scraps created during the production process, no matter how small, retain their brilliance and sentiment. "I want to breathe life into these beautiful fabrics once more." It was from this spirit of "mottainai" (don't waste) that the story of HARUMEKI began. Fabric once woven with a wish for someone's happiness is now reborn as "everyday colors" that protect your mother.

 

Unspoken feelings entrusted to patterns

The patterns of kinran brocade have long held "auspicious meanings" cherished by the Japanese people. For example, the peony (botan), known as the "king of a hundred flowers." Its magnificent petals symbolize wealth and happiness, expressing respect for a mother who remains graceful and beautiful. Additionally, the **chrysanthemum (kiku)**, modeled after the sun, is the highest-ranking flower, believed to ward off evil and wish for good health. It will surely quietly protect your mother, acting on your behalf in your deepest wish for her well-being. The **Shippo (seven treasures)** pattern, forming infinitely connected circles, signifies family harmony and unending bonds. Because they are made from fabric scraps, no two patterns or colors will ever be exactly the same. Just as your mother is one of a kind, this gift is also one of a kind.

The time spent choosing is also a gift.

 Thinking about your mother's life and her future happiness, you choose the pattern that best suits her. That time itself is already a warm gift. The name "HARUMEKI" (ハルメキ) embodies the wish to deliver moments of excitement, like waiting for spring. This Mother's Day, add the "wish" of tradition. May your mother's daily life shine even brighter with the sparkle of tradition.
