Since more than 1,000 years ago, Japanese people have cherished September 9 as the date of the Double Ninth Festival and the Chrysanthemum Festival. On this date with the two largest yang numbers, people pray for longevity, symbolized by chrysanthemum flowers. The straight chrysanthemum flower painted on this bottle using curved lines represents eternal life. In addition, the thin red lines drawn on the background are called miru, which signifies prosperity.
