Beginning of spring — Appreciate the plum blossoms with traditional crafts

Beginning of spring — Appreciate the plum blossoms with traditional crafts

 

In the 24 seasonal divisions, “Risshun" is the period from February 4 to 18, when the first signs of spring appear. Risshun is the beginning of the year in the lunar calendar.

 

The plum blossoms, which bloom when the weather is still very cold, tell the people that spring is coming.

 

The plum signifies "abundant life". To wish you a prosperous life, we will bring you plum blossoms in traditional crafts on Instagram over the next five days.
