As one of the seven flowers of autumn, Bush Clover has been cherished in Japan since ancient times.
There are more than 100 poems dedicated to Bush Clover in “Manyōshū,” the oldest surviving book of Japanese poetry compiled from the late 7th to late 8th centuries.Bush Clover buds in the spring and reaches full bloom at the beginning of autumn. It grows naturally in the mountains and is often used as an ornamental shrub in gardens.
Each flower is small and modest, with petals on the end of delicately arching stems that wave gently when the wind blows. The Bush Clover symbols of “contemplation” and “flexible spirit” arise from its gentle and unassuming beauty.
Bush Clover is also believed to have the power of exorcising evil spirits. Its trunk has been used to make chopsticks, and various parts of the plant are used in the five seasonal imperial ceremonies. The shimmering Bush Clover, illuminated by moonlight, is gracefully painted with silver Maki-e and red lacquer. The undergrowth around the Bush Clover is expressed as a pattern in the fan. Since fans become wider at the edge, they have been regarded as a lucky pattern from ancient times.
