Product Description
Hatsuyume means “the first dream in the new year.”
The first dreams of Mt. Fuji, a hawk or an eggplant are considered to be good omens for the year.
As the common saying “Ichi-fuji, ni-taka, san-nasubi” suggests, it is believed to be good omen to dream of those objects/items.
“Ichi-fuji, ni-taka, san-nasubi” means “Mount Fuji for first, hawk for second and eggplant for third.”
In the old days, hatsuyume was thought to influence one’s luck for the year.
According to a theory, it is also said that these three items were a list of what Ieyasu liked.
