Chrysanthemum
For generations, Japan has held a reverence for chrysanthemums. Known as kiku in Japanese, the chrysanthemum holds profound cultural and aesthetic significance, symbolizing longevity and warding off evil spirits.
Their blooms frequently adorn Japanese tableware, adding an air of elegance and historical depth. Many pieces showcase meticulously painted chrysanthemum motifs, while others are crafted to mirror the delicate form of a fully-bloomed chrysanthemum.
