The Chrysanthemum - A Japanese Treasure


The Chrysanthemum is called "KIKU" in Japan. The chrysanthemum is the floral emblem of the imperial family of Japan - the oldest hereditary monarchy in the world. The family's lineage dates back to the sixth century BC.


This is a photo here of the fantastic Japanese-style garden just behind Roppongi Hills - a mega complex in the heart of Tokyo.
