Our work.
Our name.
The three friends of winter are pine, bamboo and plum blossom, who thrive while other plants lay dormant. Pine is evergreen and lasts for many lifetimes. Bamboo grows fast and flexible, but always straight. Plum blossoms bloom even as other flowers are wither away. The positive symbolic meanings of these three friends have ensured their presence as a recurring motif in Asian art and philosophy for generations.
