Chrysanthemum Fower Festival



When I went to Kitsuregawa town the other day, I happened to find a local chrysanthemum flower festival.

This kind of the festival displaying chrysanthemum flowers is quite popular all over Japan in this season.

The flower of chrysanthemum is special to Japanese and has been cherished for a long time.
Because, it is the symbol of the Japanese royal family.

Do you know that the Japanese passport has a chrysanthemum emblem?

  2. Thank you for posting this Ray, the chrysanthemums are beautiful. I didn't know about the passport, but I did know about the imperial emblem. Here chrysanthemums are sold by the thousands to decorate graves on all souls day, but that's not common in the rest of the world.
