Pine Decoration

A Japanese kadomatsu, composed of pine leaves and bamboo shoots. Traditionally placed outside homes in Japan around the New Year to welcome spirits for a plentiful, happy year ahead.

Depicted as three shoots of bamboo, arranged vertically at different heights in a wooden container, arrayed with pine leaves.

Often used to represent various plants or as a green accent color.

WhatsApp’s kadomatsu is adorned with red berries, as is Facebook’s, which also includes pink cherry blossoms.

Pine Decoration was approved as part of Unicode 6.0 in 2010 and added to Emoji 1.0 in 2015.
