Coloring the history of Kikyo
The seven herbs in autumn are written in the songs of Manyoshu in Nara period and Okura Yamanoueno, and have become the autumn season of Haiku. There are various theories such as "morning glory", "Kisen", "day glory" and "Kikyo" in the song.
Kikyo is respected as a plant of "Yoshisa = Moreyoshi", and the color of the flower is a traditional color that has continued since the Heian period as the color of the clothes worn in autumn. The well-balanced shape of the flower has long been used as a samurai family crest. The design of Kikyo is beautiful and will be widely used in kimono.
The appearance of the elegant flowers of "Kikyo-color" swaying in the wind is pretty and cute, healing and calming the heart. Why don't you try to enjoy the autumn atmosphere?
