The button flower is considered to be a symbol of "Fugi", and is called "Fuyuka flower", "One Hundred Flower King", etc.
It is believed that Japan was introduced as a medicinal plant from China during the Nara period, and since the Edo period, cultivation has become active and numerous varieties have been created. In Chinese literature, since Sheng Tang (early 8th century), it has been popularized in poetry, and in Japanese literature it has been described in many haikus as seasonal words and is a flower that has been popular as a painting, a pattern, and a family crest.
