Plum Blossoms for Health and Disaster Prevention
A delicate flower that blooms amid cold winds and harsh conditions. Along with its faint sweet fragrance, it heralds the early arrival of spring.
The gentle red, pink, and white colors of the winter landscape evoke a breath of life.
Many songs remain in Japan’s oldest anthology, the "Manyoshu," that use "plum blossoms" as a theme, captivating people since ancient times.
The plum blossom is also known as a talisman flower, originally used in the tea "Daifuku-cha," which contained plum stems and kunpu (dried citrus peel). Its origin dates back to the mid-Heian period when Emperor Murakami drank it during illness and recovered.
It became customary to drink it while wishing for a year free of illness and disaster.
