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.
