Mother's Day Gifts
Three quiet characters for the woman who carried you. Restrained, lasting, and deeply Chinese.
Mother’s Day asks for something quiet. Not louder than a card, but more lasting than flowers. These three characters, each hand-brushed on rice paper, say what bouquets fade before saying.
寿 (Shòu) — Longevity
For mothers in their later years. 寿 is the wish for long life, but in Chinese it carries no clinical weight; it is the gentle hope that her days continue, and that they continue well.
福 (Fú) — Blessing
For any mother, of any age. 福 is the most-wished character in Chinese culture — health, peace, comfort, family, all gathered in a single word. If you are unsure where to start, start here.
安 (Ān) — Peace
For the mother who has carried too much. 安 means peace and safe rest — a wish that what comes next, for her, is calm.
Each character is hand-brushed by Artist Lina Sun on rice paper.
