As Rikyu flowers are in the field

[Asunaro] April 23, 2018 12:00

Riku plum has begun to bloom.

The words of flowers are "constant beauty" and "elegance".

With a modest feeling, elegant flowers are not too assertive.
It seems to be used as a tea flower.

 For this reason, the word "Rikyu plum" may be applied.
Since it is a flower that came to Japan during the Meiji era, what is the tea master Sen no Rikyu?
It doesn't seem to have anything to do.

 The buds and flowering are about the same.
The contrast between fresh green leaves and white flowers is good.
It gives you a refreshing impression.

    

 In Rikyu's words, "flowers are in the field."

    

It is beautiful as it is natural and expresses the sense of the current season.
It's a perfect flower.
