    "description": "The Japanese used chrysanthemums as decorative elements on mirrors. In the Heian period, a chrysanthemum with cranes or long-tailed birds was a common motif. Later, in the Kamakura and Muromachi periods, chrysanthemum designs were divided into three patterns with different symbolic associations: Chrysanthemum with Cranes represented longevity; Water Flowing suggested longevity as well as the Noh drama Kikujido, or Chrysanthemum Boy; and East Fence alluded to the poem \"Drinking Wine\" by Tao Yuanming (AD 365–427). Here, the mirror featuring Buddhist iconography (<em>kyojo</em>) and a chrysanthemum design on the back shows that the flower was also appreciated in the context of Buddhism in the Kamakura period.",
