Oriental paperbush
Tuesday, 10 April 2012

MITSUMATA (branch divided into tree) in Japanese.
In chinese,JIEXIANG.Parfumed branch. More poetic than MITSUMATA,I guess.
We use the bark of this tree for making japanese paper.
The flower of oriental paperbush anounce that The Spring is coming soon.
When the most popular spring flower in japan SAKURA (cherry blossom) has come,the oriental paperbush become like that.
The people who look up for cherry blossom and don't pay the attention to the oriental paperbush.
But so beautiful !
