⭐️The Plum Blossom: The Earliest Herald of Spring

The plum blossom, blooming with dignity even in the lingering cold of winter, is a symbol of “nobility” and “endurance.”
Known as one of the “pine, bamboo, and plum” trio, it has long been cherished as an auspicious plant of the New Year, used in celebratory designs and New Year's greetings.

Their blooming after enduring harsh winters makes them a powerful symbol heralding spring's start.
Their quiet, elegant beauty embodies the very essence of Japanese aesthetics.

⭐️The “cherry blossom” heralding new beginnings

Cherry blossoms symbolize new beginnings in life, arriving with spring.

March through April in Japan coincides with graduations, school enrollments, and new job starts. Overlapping with the cherry blossom season, it has become deeply tied to spring memories of farewells and new encounters.

“Ohanami”—gathering under cherry trees to enjoy food and drink—is a Japanese tradition dating back to the Edo period.
It is a cherished time to celebrate spring's arrival and deepen bonds between people.
