Each kanji and its meaning
月 | Tsuki (Moon), 雲 | Kumo (Cloud), 龍 | Ryu (Dragon), 明 | Mei (Bright, Cheerful), 松 | Matsu (Pine), 福 | Fuku (Fortune), 海 | Umi (Sea)
Because the moon changes shape as it waxes and wanes, it is also a symbol of growth and represents “becoming a new self.”
Clouds have the great power to bring rain and snow, and to determine the weather of the day through their movements. In the past, people believed that gods and spirits resided in these mysterious clouds.
Pine trees are considered to be auspicious because they are associated with eternal youth and longevity.
The symbolic meaning of the sea is that it is the source of life.
