might be called Japanese style wreaths as they are modeled after Shimenawa, a

 Shochikubai....This wreath is decorated with pine, bamboo, and plum trees, a combination
known as "sho-chiku-bai". Because pine and bamboo trees stay
green all winter and the plum tree is the first to bloom in the chill of
an early spring, sho-chiku-bai have , since the Nara period (710-784),
come to represent strength, vitality, hope, and good fortune. For centuries,
the trees have been planted together, incorporated into flower arrangements,
employed as a design motif, and used decoratively for such auspicious occasions
as New Year's and weddings.
