Isn’t the plum blossom an irreplaceable part of Japanese life?
From medicine, fragrance, and art to design motifs—and of course, umeboshi (pickled plums)— This plant has quietly intertwined with every aspect of daily living and has been cherished in both expected and surprising ways.
Above all, its resilience and the delicate scent that drifts quietly in the late winter air make it a symbol of hope, signaling the end of harsh cold.
As the traditional song of the geisha world says, “Has the plum bloomed? Not yet the cherry…”, the plum blossom is the harbinger of spring, a season long-awaited by nobility and commoners alike.
A truly auspicious flower.
