【plum tree for health and disaster prevention】
A pitiful flower that blooms and withers amid the cold wind. With a faintly sweet fragrance, it heralds the early arrival of spring. The gentle red, pink, and white colors of the winter scenery, quietly reflecting, evoke the breath of life. In Japan's oldest anthology of songs, 'Manyo-shu,' many songs are themed on 'plum,' enchanting people since ancient times. Speaking of things associated with plum, there is the tea 'Daifuku-cha,' made by drinking plum pickles and kombu (kelp). Its origin lies in the Heian period when Emperor Murakami drank it during illness and recovered, leading to the custom of drinking it while wishing for a year free of illness and disasters.
