Pine is the dwelling place of God

Pine branches held straight by wire are arranged in a fan and placed just behind a burning candle. This arrangement is highly symbolic. In Japanese culture, both the pine tree and the fan bring good luck. Pine branches, in particular, are used to decorate front doors for the New Year, because it is believed they are one of God's dwellings.
