Of this resistance, the Tsukushi is a symbol of longevity and aptation.
Tsukushi is a kind of horsetail shoot that emerges from the ground at the height of spring. It is written “brush of earth” because of its resemblance to the shape of a brush.
Because of its interesting shape, it has been depicted in many flower and bird paintings, especially since the Edo period (1603-1868).
This is a growing tsukushi.
