<h3>Tsubaki Japan</h3>
Tsubaki (ツバキ) is a Japanese flower that is revered and loved almost as much as the cherry blossom. It is generally believed that "Tsubaki" is a variety of Chinese "camellias" that are winter-resistant. Chinese camellia has three major categories: single-petal, compound-petal and heavy-petal, and is divided into 12 types. Japanese tsubaki does not have as many varieties of camellia as Chinese, and the common form is single-petaled xanthocarpus, with white and red being the most common.
Fallen
Chinese camellias are the same as most other flowers when they wither, with one petal after another carefully. And The Japanese Tsubaki (that is, China's winter-resistant) often when it is at its most vigorous, suddenly the whole flower falls together with the flower holder, just like the Japanese samurai beheading as magnificent and poignant, the Japanese people like this feeling, so Tsubaki is also called "guillotine flower". "Falling Tsubaki" refers to the complete red tree that falls to the ground, which has the meaning of righteousness and awe, the pursuit of ideals and beliefs and the contempt for life.
Japanese anime also often appear in the anime as a metaphor for death, such as the plot of Ghost Maru and Red Lotus in Naruto.
There is also a legend that Tsubaki was originally white, and a great samurai killed himself in front of Tsubaki, and the blood was sprinkled on the white Tsubaki, and since then there has been a red Tsubaki. [1]
