Camellia Tea Ceremony on Nostr: The rare flowers that grew in Kiyohara's gardens drew the attention of emperors Saga ...

The rare flowers that grew in Kiyohara's gardens drew the attention of emperors Saga (嵯峨天皇 785-842), Junna (淳和天皇 786-840) and Ninmyō (仁明天皇 808-50), who became regular visitors.
Soon the entire neighbourhood became known as 'Hanazono' (花園 the 'Flower Garden').
