This table runner and coaster set features Sashiko stitching; a large lotus leaf as well as its flower. From ancient times, the lotus has been a divine symbol in Asian traditions. It is one of the “Eight Auspicious Signs” (Ashtamangala) pertaining to a number of Dharmic Traditions, such as Hinduism and Buddhism. In Buddhist symbolism, the lotus represents purity of the body, speech and the mind as if floating above the muddy waters of affection and desire. For that reason, many deities of Asian religions are depicted as seated on a lotus flower.
In classical written and oral literature of many Asian cultures, the lotus is present in figurative form, representing elegance, beauty, perfection, purity, and grace. So not surprisingly, the lotus flower is also a popular subject in household furnishings.
