Notes:
A Japanese cart with flowers, known as a hanaguruma (花車), is a traditional motif often depicted in woodblock prints, screens, and decorative objects, and symbolizes prosperity, refinement, and the beauty of nature. These carts, frequently shown with large baskets overflowing with seasonal flowers, were associated with the aristocracy and traditional Japanese celebrations. The motif can be found on items like folding screens, vases, and prints, and is a popular theme in Japanese art and decorative arts
Also in Japanese culture, the combination of a woman and a dog is most notably a symbol of protection, safe childbirth, and familial nurture
