Connection to the seasons — Plum blossom viewing
Plum blossom viewing is a cultural practice that is believed to have been introduced from China during the Nara period, and it is featured in more poems than cherry blossoms in the Manyoshu anthology. Its appearance, blooming before other flowers in the still chilly early spring, was highly valued and was widely enjoyed by the Heian aristocracy.
The plum blossom, with its noble fragrance and dignified appearance, is also known as a symbol of Sugawara no Michizane, the god of learning. This is why plum trees are planted at Tenmangu shrines throughout Japan. Having endured the harsh winter and heralding the arrival of spring, the plum blossom has long been cherished by the Japanese people as a symbol of hope, perseverance, and integrity.
