More about 瑞気集門

瑞気集門 wishes well to a household and to everyone in it. 瑞気 is the air that comes with a good omen, and 門, the gate, stands for the house and the family behind it. It is written at the New Year or hung over an entrance, and it suits a new home or a shop on its opening day.

瑞気集門 is a calligrapher's wish for the New Year, first known from Ichikawa Beian 市河米庵's phrase book for the brush, 『墨場必携』, first printed in 1836, from which it passed into later handbooks and onto doorway boards such as the one a priest of Dazaifu Tenmangū brushed for an inn at Nikkō in 1891.

We want you to be as happy with the meaning as you are with Master Takase's art. To learn more, visit Philology of 瑞気集門.
