Camellias
The camellia blooms at year's end, creating a decorative accent in an otherwise bleak season and heralding the
advent of spring. The evergreen leaves survive even in severe and cold weather and allow the beautiful flowers to bloom. The flower, fruit and trunk are used for various practical purposes, such as camellia oil,
lumber for high quality craft products, and charcoal for polishing lacquer. It is also known as a symbol of longevity; there is a 400-year-old camellia tree still flourishing in Kyoto.
This design incorporates
the realistic techniques that are based on the long and short stitch.
