More Information on this Ornament

The Back Story More: Imperial carts are important Japanese motifs. Before paved roads, only the Imperial Court was allowed to use wheeled transport. So this motif raises whatever it decorates to a higher level. In the case of a wedding, it signifies a regal ceremony. Japanese style weddings incorporate Shinto, a traditional religion that involves worshipping the spirits of people and nature.  Couples are often married at Shinto shrines near torii gates and pagodas.  Images of imperial carts and cranes are used in decorations and on clothing to denote prosperity and a devoted, lasting union.  Bonsai and the use of cool, natural colors reflect a dedication to nature and its simplicity.
