The 松 tree symbolizes longevity and strength in Japanese culture. You'll often see 松 featured in traditional art, garden design, and as a decorative element during New Year celebrations.

It’s one of the "Sho-Chiku-Bai" trio — pine, bamboo, and plum — used to denote good fortune and rank in traditional settings.
