Prunus mume is an Asian tree species classified in the Armeniaca section of the genus Prunus subgenus Prunus. Its common names include Chinese plum and Japanese apricot. The flower is usually called plum blossom. Plum blossoms are often mentioned in Japanese poetry as a symbol of spring. When used in haiku or renga, they are a kigo or season word for early spring.
Here is a Japanese poem which use plum blossoms translated in English.
An outing---Kokka taikan [X:1883]
THE lords and ladies
Of the Great Palace
Have leisure enough;
Here they are out together
Bedecked with plum-flowers.
Dose anyone have this book "Kokka taikan(国歌大観)"? Can you tell me the original?
郵票為82日圓的植物郵票，一般台灣人的印象梅花為白色，但實際上梅花品種達三百多種，花色亦有粉紅色、紅色、紫色、淺綠色等。在日本的詩歌中，如俳句、連歌中，它通常為早春的季語。附上一首提及梅花的和歌之英文譯文，此詩收錄於《国歌大観》第十卷，如果哪位朋友手邊有這本書，是否可提供日文原文呢？
