Hanakotoba 花言葉, the language of flowers - Meant to convey emotion and communicate directly to each other without needing the use of words.

Lotus 蓮華 (Shichi) - A white lotus flower refers to purity of the mind and the spirit.  It grows in muddy water, and it is this environment that gives forth the flower’s first and most literal meaning: rising and blooming above the murk to achieve enlightenment.

Red Spider Lily 彼岸花 (Aki) - An autumn flower and a symbol of death and departure.

Chrysanthemum 白菊 (Sagiri) - Truth — A symbol of the sun, the Japanese consider the orderly unfolding of the chrysanthemum’s petals to represent perfection, and Confucius once suggested they be used as an object of meditation.

Lotus

I already had an ukiyo-e style Shichi, but he didn’t match the pieces I did for Sagiri and Aki. So now they all look nice together. Also, the flowers I’d used previously weren’t so much symbolic as they were just used in the story. I’ll put them all in a triptych later!

A blurb from randomtengureporter that made me laugh — thank you!

"This new robe is far more comfortable bedding," Chiyo commented as the duo walked through yet another forest, "but if you don’t stop fidgeting, I will bite you."

Do you like Tarot Cards?

mrgid:

Are we acquaintances? Do you have two characters of your own? Do you think they might fit one of these Tarot cards that aren’t blanked out? Would you like to see them to get drawn as a card at some point in the year?

Then reblog this and tell me! I’ve got these few spots left for this project and would like to round the deck out as a thing to finish in 2014. And I’m so very close to filling it out. The Lovers card will count for two characters so, uh, yeah. Yeah. ♥♥♥

Oohhh, pick me!
