■ What is “button”? <br /> The flower of the button is a symbol of “Fuki” and is called “Fukihana” or “King of Hundred Flowers”.
It is said that it was introduced to Japan as a medicinal plant from China during the Nara period, and since the Edo period, cultivation has flourished and many varieties have been produced. Since Sheng Tang (early 8th century) in Chinese literature, it has been actively sung in poetry, and in Japanese literature it has been sung in many haiku as a seasonal word, and it is also popular as a painting, pattern, and family crest.
