Camellia facts

Camellia flowers are one of the Japanese traditional classic patterns and often used in Kimono.

Camellia is native to Japan and has long been cherished by people as an auspicious tree.

Although the season when the flowers bloom is fixed, the leaves are always green, so they are also called auspicious trees.

The oil from Camellia is still used in cosmetics but this has been going on since the Heian period (8th century).

Since Camellia lye is used when dyeing purple, it is also useful as an indispensable item for noble colours.

Because of this background, Camellia has long been valued as a noble flower.
