The Back Story:More:
The Kadomatsu, a combination of bamboo, pine and flowers, is a New Year
tradition began over 600 years ago in Japan. Kadomatsu translates
literally to gate pine, implying a guard for the house. In the Edo
Period of the 1400s in Japan, giant pieces of bamboo were filled with
water and sand, and placed at doorways in case of fire emergency. Over
time, these giant house guards came to symbolize much more than mere
fire prevention. With bamboo symbolizing growth and strength, and fresh
pine representing long life and endurance, the Kadomatsu became a
favorite way of offering good luck in the New Year. The first
generation of immigrants to Hawaii brought this tradition to the islands
with them, and today, the Kadomatsu is more popular in Hawaii than it
is in Japan.
