A Taste of the Orient
A Japanese style lacquered bowl lined with tropical
leaves protects a dozen copper-coloured chrysanthemum blooms. The
whole lies on an improvised mat of stems. The Japanese revere the
chrysanthemum, their national flower, and have a special day of
celebration, Chongyang, on 9th September, in its honour.
