White camellia

[Asunaro] December 16, 2018 09:00

At the gate of Enshoji Temple in Tsukiji Outer Market

White camellia is in bloom. I wonder if it's a coincidence.

It is counted as Rikyu's Seven Best Flowers and is used for the tea ceremony.

If you hit the frost, you can see the flowers.

Cut the branches of the buds to make them bloom indoors.

As the name of Wabisuke, he does not claim beauty compared to other camellias

The half-open flower shape makes you feel the atmosphere.

The modest beauty and flower language are also "modest".

It is a corner with a quiet atmosphere in the hustle and bustle of the market.
