Yamabuki, bright yellow flowers

山吹の色って

きれい

黄色でもなく山吹色

万葉集 昔の人も

この花 愛でたんだ

素敵なつながり

昔も今も

ながれている

同じ心

Yamabuki, with its bright yellow flowers, is the origin of the word “yama-buki” (meaning “mountain-buki color”). It is said to have been cultivated in Japan since the Manyoshu period. Legend has it that a gold coin dropped in a valley turned into yamabuki flowers around a stream.
