Chrysanthemum

菊の花。練り切り製。針切り箸使いました。菊の花で邪気を払い無病息災と長寿を願う、重陽の節句（9月9日）はもうすぐです。健やかにお過ごしください。 Order made Chrysanthemum design of Nerikiri sweets. I used chopsticks with needles to cut petals. This design is for “Chou you no sekku (September 9th)” which means chrysanthemums celebrations or longevity celebration in Japan. Chrysanthemums are believed to have the power to purge evil spirits and bring longevity. Stay well and healthy.
