Connection to the seasons — Plum blossoms and the moon
Plum blossoms begin to bloom around February, when the weather is still chilly, and have long been cherished as a flower that heralds the arrival of spring. Also known as the "older brother of flowers," their dignified appearance and fragrance have been celebrated in many waka and haiku poems.
On the other hand, the moon is also an indispensable element in Japanese aesthetics. The moon floating in the clear night sky from winter to early spring, in particular, possesses a dignified beauty. The scene of "plum blossoms and moonlit night," where plum blossoms and the moon are combined, symbolizes a uniquely Japanese, ethereal beauty in which tranquility and nobility are harmonized. The custom of viewing plum blossoms is also practiced at night, and enjoying plum blossoms under the moonlight has a particularly special charm.
