    About
    The chrysanthemum, or "kiku" in Japanese, was first introduced to Japan from China in the 5th century. During that period, Japan was greatly influenced by Chinese culture. The Japanese imperial family fell in love with the Chinese flower and used the image of the chrysanthemum on official seals and even the throne. Thus, the imperial family got the name "chrysanthemum throne," and the flower remains the symbol of the Japanese emperor today.
    The chrysanthemum represents longevity, rejuvenation and nobility in Japan. It is also the symbol of autumn, harvest and goodwill. September 9 is Japan's National Chrysanthemum Day. It is also the festival of happiness. The holiday was established in 910 AD when the first chrysanthemum show was held.
