type:text

Japanese fl oriculture fl ourished in central Tokyo in the Edo period. At that time, every class of people was fascinatedwith fl oriculture. This was partly due to nurserymen, some of the leading ones of whom had special skills incultivating plants and had huge collections of cultivars, even publishing books about them. Flower events such asfl ower shows and fl ower markets became important recreational events for the commoners. Toward the end of theEdo period, people became interested in unusual plants having a strange appearance or interesting shapes of leavesand fl owers, which were called ‘cult plants'. They had high value and were traded at extremely high prices. Currently,some institutions such as universities and museums play an important role in conveying the knowledge ofunique Japanese fl oriculture to people.
