The next season is cold weather, when chrysanthemums are in full bloom. The chrysanthemum, which is used in the emblem of the Emperor and the Imperial Family, is a noble flower that symbolizes the country, such as on Japanese passports and medals.
In its native China, it is a symbol of power, dignity, sublimity, and longevity, and was brought to Japan from Nara during the Heian period. Today, it is customary to display chrysanthemums at seasonal events such as New Year's Day and Boy's Festival, and it is said that ``arranging chrysanthemums will make you a good child'' and ``arranging chrysanthemums will bring you good luck.''
