The picture serves to invoke 100 blessings to our customers who come to Zen Garden and may good fortune be bestowed upon you all.Ī Zen garden within Zen Garden was created to give our customers a sense of order and harmony as that space aims to represent a metaphorical impression of the natural world. Using a Chinese lucky character is a wonderful way of enhancing good feelings and luck into our lives. 99 types of character for the same word were created together with the original one in the centre that makes the 100 blessings picture on the wall of our staircase at Zen Garden. Some of the designs are based on the ancient seal form of the character. Did you know? Imagination has led to the creation of many artistic versions of the character for good luck. It is the most auspicious word among the Chinese and is the ultimate good luck character which also means good fortune and wealth. Thus, “Fu” has come to be defined as “blessing”. In the ancient oracle-bone inscription, “Fu” meant “Offering food and wine to the gods with both hands.” The ancients carried out this ritual by praying to heaven and worshiping the gods, seeking peace and joy. HUNDRED BLESSINGS = 100 “福” Ever since China established its own writing system thousands of years ago, the character “福” “Fu” has existed.
