The Four Noblemen represent people with ideal character and virtues, and are moral exemplars for individuals and society. They are the general ideal.

Plum blossoms (Ume) : Plum blossoms are known for their cold tolerance and early spring blooming, making them a symbol of hope and strength in the face of adversity.

Bamboo : Bamboo symbolizes honesty and sincerity, as well as flexibility and strength, due to its straight and flexible shape. Because bamboo grows quickly, it is also a symbol of vitality.

Orchid : With their beauty and fragrance, orchid flowers symbolize elegance, dignity and high spirituality.
