"Spring, bursting forth in crimson"
When we think of spring, we think of cherry blossoms, tulips, and rapeseed flowers. However, the true stars of this beautiful season are not limited to these. The Japanese maple, known as shōjō, turns a vibrant red in spring, then shifts to green in summer, and once again displays its autumn foliage. This stunning red is a hidden gem of spring.
