» English Description
Momoyama, (Latter 17th Century), Hirayama Tokuo's Chinzu Byōbu: Tubular to flat single, red and white petals in turn, one by one. (Believed extinct.) Originated in Japan. Note: This legendary camellia is said to be the form of the ancient, famous artifical camellia flower, which has been used at the Omizutori Festival (which celebrates the arrival of spring on March 13th, at Tōdaiji, Nara Prefecture) for over 1200 years. This fact indicates that this camellia existed over 1200 years ago. See Takeshi, Watanabe, Kyōto Engei Kurabu, 1961, Tsubaki Tokushū, No.2, p.49, 50 for more details. Originated in Japan.
