■Origin of the brand “Konohana Sakuyahime”
The goddess that appears in Japanese mythology with unmatched beauty who blooms gorgeously like the "cherry blossom", the symbol flower of Japan. She fell in love at first sight with the grandchild of the sun goddess Amaterasu and became his wife. She is the most beautiful and honored goddess in Japanese mythology. It is said that the cherry blossoms are so beautiful because they were inspired by Princess Konohana Sakuya.
