　　During the Kamakura period, Emperor Go-Toba particularly loved chrysanthemums. It is said that when Emperor Go-Toba was registering his succession, he lost the ceremonial sword designated for the heir. Consequently, he personally had a sword made for himself and inscribed upon it the 16-petal chrysanthemum design—a motif he cherished—thus making it a symbol of his status and identity. At the same time, chrysanthemums are renowned for their freshness, elegance, graceful symbolism, and captivating hues, making them a flower deeply beloved by people throughout history. China is the homeland of chrysanthemums; as early as more than three thousand years ago, people began cultivating them. Throughout the ages, countless literary figures have composed poems and writings celebrating chrysanthemums, which have long since become a reflection of the character and integrity of ancient Chinese scholars and literati, imbued with a variety of symbolic meanings.
