Camellia facts

A Symbol of Elegance and Nobility The Camellia flower, a classic pattern in Japanese tradition, is often featured in Kimono designs, embodying a sense of grace and auspiciousness. Native to Japan, the Camellia is celebrated not only for its evergreen leaves and seasonal blooms but also for its historical significance in cosmetics and dyeing practices since the Heian period (8th century). The oil extracted from Camellias has been a cherished component in beauty rituals, while the lye made from Camellias is essential in creating the noble hues of purple dye. This rich cultural backdrop elevates the Camellia to a status of nobility and reverence.
