Let’s talk about JAPAN.
Flowers always bloom youthfully
花はいつも若く咲く
Plum trees have long been loved by the Japanese as a herald of the coming of spring. Small, dainty flowers with their sweet fragrance and dark branches contrast favorably with them. Some species of trees have trunks with a strength reminiscent of a dragon, delighting the viewer in various ways.
春の到来を告げる存在として、梅は古くから日本人に愛されてきました。甘い香りを漂わせる小さく可憐な花と、それと好対照の黒々した枝。樹木の種類によっては、幹に龍を思わせる力強さを宿すものもあり、観賞する者をさまざまな形で楽しませてくれます。
There are also ancient trees, some of which are hundreds of years old, still existing throughout Japan, some of which have been the subject of paintings, poems, and literary works over the ages, adding color to the field of art.
また、樹齢数百年に及ぶ古木が日本各地に現存しており、いくつかは時を超えて絵画や歌、文学作品の題材とされ、芸術の分野にも彩を与えています。
