March: A Season of Subtle Spring Hints Amid the Chill

Though March still carries the remnants of winter’s chill, subtle signs of spring begin to emerge.

 One of the most delightful cues of the changing season is the sweet fragrance of plum blossoms drifting through the air, signaling that spring is just around the corner.

A highly recommended spot to experience this seasonal beauty in Kyoto is Jonangu Shrine.
Here, you can enjoy both plum blossoms and camellias at the same time.


Unlike other flowers, camellias do not shed their petals individually but instead fall whole, creating a stunning display even as they rest on the ground.

The breathtaking harmony of fallen camellias and gracefully cascading weeping plum blossoms is a true expression of Japanese elegance and natural beauty.

To bring the beauty of plum blossoms and camellias into your daily life, why not explore our collection of kimono and accessories featuring plum blossom and camellia patterns?
