JAPANESE FLOATER WITH SEIGAIHA-MON

Enjoy our version of the Japanese float with Seigaiha-mon. The Japanese float refers to a traditional glass fishing float used in Japan, typically made from recycled glass. These floats were used by fishermen to keep their fishing nets or longlines afloat in the water. They are spherical in shape and were originally made by Japanese fishermen in the late 19th century. The Seigaiha-mon is a traditional Japanese wave pattern often seen in textiles, ceramics, and various forms of decorative arts. The term "Seigaiha" translates to "blue sea and waves," and "mon" means "pattern." This design features stylized, overlapping concentric circles that resemble waves or fan shapes, creating a rhythmic, wave-like pattern.

The Seigaiha pattern symbolizes the sea and its endless waves, which can represent good fortune, resilience, and a wish for peaceful, harmonious life.
