UME


These are Japanese apricot.
Japanese people sense each season with colors, because we have different climate in each season.
Spring is pastel colors like cherry blossom, Summer is vivid color like green trees and bamboo, Fall is moderate color like fallen leaves and Winter is no color like snow white.
Ancestor especially enjoyed each season wearing colorful "Kimono" to express each season flowers using more than two colors.
