Tsubaki

Tsubaki つばき

Flower language: My destiny is in your hands

Splendid in form, tragic in destiny

Falling with a hero's fearless grace

Cherished by endless souls of noble mind

An image so breathlessly beautiful

Echoing eternally within our hearts

Emily Sensei says:

Tsubaki is one of many camellia species. Its petals are thick and vibrantly colorful. When it withers, the whole flower falls off, which is very heroic. There are more than 2,000 species of camellias cultivated in Japan. They are used not only for garden decoration, but also for solemn occasions such as tea ceremonies and festivals. The famous "Hundred Tsubaki Picture Scroll" records the decoration rules of various Tsubaki flowers, which has been loved by Japanese literati since ancient times.
