About Shippou(Seven Treasures) Pattern

The Meaning of the Shippo Pattern

The Shippo (七宝) pattern, meaning “Seven Treasures,” is a revered geometric design in Japanese culture. In Buddhism, the Seven Treasures represent the spiritual virtues of faith, perseverance, sense of shame, avoidance of wrongdoing, mindfulness, concentration, and wisdom. The interlocking circles create a mesmerizing pattern symbolizing infinite harmony, connection, and prosperity—a reminder of the richness found in relationships and community.
