A FLOWER LOVER'S GUIDE TO TOKYO - BOOK
40 WALKS FOR ALL SEASONS
BY SUMIKO ENBUTSU

...Japanese sensitivity to seasons and nature is inextricably linked to their love for flowers. This appreciation is well preserved in works of art and objects of daily life, from subject of mural paintings to motif on combs.

Vigorous flowering of old wisteria trees remind us of the wisteria boys myth, and camellia leaves reflecting the afternoon sun are a
convincing explanation of the flower's Japanese name meaning "glossy leaves."
