The theory of Yin and Yang and the Five Elements states that all things are made up of "two energies of Yin and Yang" and the five elements of "wood, fire, earth, metal, and water." It is said that the world revolves around the elements of Yin and Yang and the Five Elements. ★ Five colors are used in the Goshiki tanzaku (colorful strips of paper) for the Tanabata festival, the hanging banners in sumo wrestling rings, the hanging banners in shrines and temples, and the streamers of carp streamers. ✡️ For necklaces, about 90cm is needed to thread and tie a single string. ✡️ Although thin, it is sturdy with five-color thread and gold thread.
