[Product Specifications] Material: Hard porcelain / Country of Origin: Japan / Size: Diameter: Approx. 12cm The custom of giving flowers is said to have originated in ancient Europe, and since ancient times, flowers have been imbued with various feelings and meanings. The "For you" series features three colorful flowers blooming on white porcelain, representing three anniversaries associated with flower giving: Mimosa Day (March 8th), Lily of the Valley Day (May 1st), and Rose Day (June 2nd). In Italy, March 8th is designated as "FESTA DELLA DONNA," or International Women's Day, and due to the custom of men gifting seasonal mimosas to women who have helped them, it has also come to be known as "Mimosa Day." The mimosa flower symbolizes "gratitude" in Italy and "friendship" and "elegance" in Japan. Its vibrant yellow color and round shape have made it a beloved flower symbolizing the sun for those eagerly awaiting spring. Its gentle, sweet scent is also used as an ingredient in perfume. We will deliver your gift with a card that says "For you."
