Description

Ōshikōchi no Mitsune - Japanese Poet
心あてに
折らばや折らむ
初霜の
おきまどはせる
白菊の花
TRANSLATES as:
Must it be by chance,
if I am to pluck one, that I pluck it? �
white chrysanthemums
on which the first frost
lies bewilderingly.

"Chrysanthemums, sometimes called mums or chrysanths, are flowering plants of the genus Chrysanthemum in the family Asteraceae. They are native to Asia and northeastern Europe. Most species originate from East Asia and the center of diversity is in China"

In Japan, the chrysanthemum is a symbol of the Emperor and Imperial family. In particular, a "chrysanthemum crest" (菊花紋章, kikukamonshō or kikkamonshō), i.e. a mon of chrysanthemum blossom design, indicates a link to the Emperor; there are more than 150 patterns on this design. Notable uses of and reference to the Imperial chrysanthemum include:
1.The Imperial Seal of Japan, used by members of the Japanese Imperial family.
2. A number of formerly state-endowed shrines (官国弊社, kankokuheisha) have adopted a chrysanthemum crest; most notable of these is Tokyo's Yasukuni Shrine.[17]
3. The Chrysanthemum Throne is the name given to the position of Japanese Emperor.
4. The Supreme Order of the Chrysanthemum is a Japanese honor awarded by the Emperor.

In Imperial Japan, small arms were required to be stamped with the Imperial 6. Chrysanthemum, as they were considered the personal property of the Emperor.
The city of Nihonmatsu, Japan hosts the "Nihonmatsu Chrysanthemum Dolls Exhibition" every autumn in historical ruin of Nihonmatsu Castle.
The chrysanthemum is also considered to be the seasonal flower of September." WIKI
