The beginning of Spring in Japan is signaled by the opening of the Ume (plum) blossoms and the chirping of the Mejiro (white eyed bird). Spring begins in early February for the Japanese and this pin certainly gives a feeling of new life!
Featuring golden branches, the little addition of color at the base of the branch is actually a houju, a symbol of purification in Shinto and Buddhism.
