April 1, the name of new emperor’s era was unveiled.
It is a big news in Japan.
“Reiwa” 令和
Reiwa is taken from the old poem about plum blossoms (Manyoshu) with hope for future just like amazing plum flower in full bloom after bitter cold.
Surprisingly, my lovely sister Reiko uses the same Kanji 令子 and this poem is said to be created in my hometown, Dazaifu, Fukuoka.
With these happy co-incidences, I am very happy about new name.
Imaging beauty of plum flower, I made this Nerikiri confectionery.
