No.3 Wisteria Circle
Wisteria Circle came in third place among the new patterns for 2023. Wisteria is a symbol of longevity and mating of offspring, and its clustered flowers resemble ears of rice, which is considered a symbol of good luck for a bountiful harvest. The elegant circle design is easy to match with kimono and other attire.
