Le chrysanth\u00e8me (kiku) n\u2019est pas seulement l\u2019embl\u00e8me h\u00e9raldique de la famille imp\u00e9riale japonaise mais aussi une fleur a l\u2019histoire complexe s\u2019imbriquant avec l\u2019histoire de l\u2019archipel. Il est d\u00e9crit pour la premi\u00e8re fois par Jacob Breynius en 1689, toutefois la plante doit son nom a Carolus Linnaeus qui lui donna son nom\u202f: \u00ab\u202fChrys\u202f\u00bb signifie en grec \u00ab\u202fdor\u00e9\u202f\u00bb et d\u00e9signe la couleur d\u2019origine de la fleur. \u00ab\u202fAnthemon\u202f\u00bb signifie fleur, le chrysanth\u00e8me \u00e9tant donc la fleur dor\u00e9e.\u00a0
Loin d\u2019\u00eatre le symbole funeste qu\u2019il est en occident,\u202fle chrysanth\u00e8me au Japon est avant tout un signe de pouvoir mais aussi un signe de longue vie et de bonheur. Celle qu\u2019on appelle donc aussi\u202fla \u00ab fleur d\u2019or \u00bb\u202fest originaire de Chine et fait son apparition au Japon sous l\u2019e\u0300re Nara ou\u0300 elle est longtemps consid\u00e9r\u00e9e comme une plante m\u00e9dicinale pour soulager la fie\u0300vre. \u202f\u00a0<\/p>\n
Pour comprendre d\u2019o\u00f9 vient la symbolique du chrysanth\u00e8me, il faut remonter aux ann\u00e9es 1500 \u00e0 1400 avant J.C. Les chrysanth\u00e8mes \u00e9taient alors d\u00e9j\u00e0 cultiv\u00e9s en Chine tant qu\u2019herbe aromatique fleurie. Il \u00e9tait alors consid\u00e9r\u00e9 comme une plante noble dot\u00e9e de pouvoirs particuliers. Si particuliers que seuls les nobles \u00e9taient autoris\u00e9s \u00e0 cultiver cette plante dans leurs jardins. Le Chrysanth\u00e8me se retrouve d\u2019ailleurs sur les plus belles porcelaines chinoises, peints dans un style raffin\u00e9. Ce n\u2019est qu\u2019au VIIIe si\u00e8cle, que le chrysanth\u00e8me est introduit au Japon et \u00e9lev\u00e9 par l\u2019empereur au rang de symbole national. Il servira \u00e9galement de source d\u2019inspiration pour le sceau imp\u00e9rial.\u00a0\u00a0
C\u2019est donc sous l\u2019\u00e8re Heian que la famille imp\u00e9riale s\u2019y int\u00e9resse, cr\u00e9ant m\u00eame une f\u00eate en son honneur. C\u2019est le 9 septembre, sois le 9e\u202fjour du 9e\u202fmois qu\u2019est organis\u00e9 au sanctuaire Kamigamo a\u0300 Kyoto le festival annuel \u201ccho\u0304yo\u0304 no sekku\u201d, ou festival des chrysanth\u00e8mes. Apr\u00e8s la c\u00e9r\u00e9monie, une danse liturgique de pr\u00eatres, arm\u00e9s d\u2019un arc et de fl\u00e8ches et d\u00e9guis\u00e9s en corbeaux blancs, a lieu. Suite a\u0300 cela, les enfants des environs sont invit\u00e9s a\u0300 faire des combats de sumo dans l\u2019enceinte du temple.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
Alors que la fleur est populaire dans tout l\u2019archipel depuis longtemps, ce n\u2019est qu\u2019au XIIIe\u202fsi\u00e8cle, que l\u2019empereur Go-Toba d\u00e9cide d\u2019utiliser la forme a\u0300 seize p\u00e9tales comme embl\u00e8me de la famille imp\u00e9riale. L\u2019h\u00e9raldique du chrysanth\u00e8me repr\u00e9sente tout \u00e0 la fois la personne de l\u2019empereur, la famille imp\u00e9riale et le peuple japonais, on dit m\u00eame que pour honorer les empereurs, leur tr\u00f4ne \u00e9tait jadis enti\u00e8rement recouvert de chrysanth\u00e8mes. La cour japonaise est donc \u00e9galement connue sous le nom de \u00ab\u202ftr\u00f4ne du chrysanth\u00e8me\u202f\u00bb.\u00a0 Alors qu\u2019elle \u00e9tait initialement l\u2019apanage de l\u2019aristocratie japonaise, la culture du chrysanth\u00e8me se d\u00e9veloppe consid\u00e9rablement sous l\u2019e\u0300re Edo (1600- 1868) a\u0300 partir de la ville imp\u00e9riale de Kyoto. De nombreuses personnes se sp\u00e9cialise dans la culture et la cr\u00e9ation de nouvelles vari\u00e9t\u00e9s de chrysanth\u00e8mes et expose leurs productions lors de \u00ab pr\u00e9sentations \u00bb, dans des auberges traditionnelles et dans des temples de Kyoto. Toute information, forme, couleur des fleurs, nom de la vari\u00e9t\u00e9, ou m\u00eame le prix \u00e9taient consciencieusement not\u00e9s dans un registre. Bien que surtout pr\u00e9sente sur la ville imp\u00e9riale de Kyoto entre 1688 et 1703, la culture du chrysanth\u00e8me se r\u00e9pandit ensuite a\u0300 travers tout le pays.\u00a0<\/p>\n
De plus le chrysanth\u00e8me est \u00e9galement un des quatre \u00ab\u202fJunzi\u202f\u00bb, dont la traduction libre est \u00ab\u202fmembre de la noblesse\u202f\u00bb. Le prunus, l\u2019orchid\u00e9e, le bambou et le chrysanth\u00e8me sont ensemble \u00ab\u202fles quatre nobles\u202f\u00bb. Chacun de ces nobles symbolise une saison : l\u2019hiver pour le prunus, le printemps pour l\u2019orchid\u00e9e, l\u2019\u00e9t\u00e9 pour le bambou et l\u2019automne pour le chrysanth\u00e8me. Ces \u00ab\u202fJunzis\u202f\u00bb sont toujours utilis\u00e9s dans l\u2019art pictural de toute l\u2019Asie.\u00a0<\/p>\n
C\u2019est cette symbolique riche qui est la raison pour laquelle on retrouve la fleur de chrysanth\u00e8mes \u00e0 divers endroits, comme sur le passeport japonais et les pi\u00e8ces de 50 Yen par exemple. L\u2019Ordre supr\u00eame du Chrysanth\u00e8me existe encore aujourd\u2019hui. Il s\u2019agit de la plus haute distinction que puisse obtenir un citoyen japonais et qui lui est attribu\u00e9e par l\u2019empereur. Le chrysanth\u00e8me est ainsi la seule fleur du monde \u00e0 laquelle soit associ\u00e9e une aussi haute distinction.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The chrysanthemum (kiku) in not only the heraldic symbol of the Japanese imperial family, it is also aflower with a complex history, still attached to the history of the Japanese isles. The flower is first described by Jacob Breynius in 1689, but it gets its name from Carolus Linnaeus that named it after : \u201cChrys\u201d from the root of the grecque word meaning \u201cgolden\u201d, and \u201cAnthemon\u201d which mean flower, chrysanthemum is litteraly the golden flower\u00a0\u00a0
Far from the baleful meaning it has in Europe, the chrysanthemum in Japan is overall a symbol of power, but also of longevity and happiness. The golden flower originated from China and arrived in Japan along the Nara period, for long it was only regarded as medicinal plant to cure and drop fever.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
In order to understand the symbolism behind the flower we have to go back to 1500-1400 BCE. Chrysantemum were already cultivated in China at the time, mostly as an aromatic and decorative plant. It was already considered as a noble plant with mysterious power, a flower so important only the nobility was able to grow it in their garden. The same flower can be identified on some of the oldest Chinese porcelain.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
It is only around the VIII th century that the chrysanthemum is introduced in Japan and risen to the status of national symbol. Later, the same flower will also be used as a model for the imperial signet.\u00a0
Under the Heian era, the imperial family started to monopolize this symbol, by even creating a feast in its honour. On September 9th, or on the 9th days of the 9th month, the cho\u0304yo\u0304 no sekku\u201d festival is organized in Kamigamo sanctuary (Kyoto).\u00a0 After the ceremony of the chrysanthemum festival, a liturgic danse involving priests shooting bows and arrows while white raven costume take place. Which is then succeeded by an invitation to all children to compete in sumo wrestling inside the temple.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
Even though this flower is well known over Japan for a long time now, it is only around the XIIIth century that the emperor Go-Toba choose to utilize the sixteen petaled chrysanthemum as its family crest. The heraldic of the chrysanthemum now represents all at once the emperor persona, the imperial family and the Japanese people. It is said that to honor former emperors their thrones were entirely covered in chrysanthemum flowers, originating the name of \u201cChrysanthemum thrones\u201d to define the heir to Japan. Although formerly the appanage of the Japanese noble families, chrysanthemum growing became popular along the Edo period, originating from the imperial city o Kyoto. Numerous people dedicate their life to the selection and creation of new Chrysantemum varieties and expose their production in traditional family inn or among the numerous temples of Kyoto. All information, color, shape, name of the variety and even cost were conscientiously noted in a register. Even though it was essentially present in Kyoto, imperial city, between 1688 and 1703, the culture of chrysanthemum then spread all over Japan.\u00a0<\/p>\n
In addition, chrysanthemum is also one of the four \u201cJunzi\u201d, which a literal transation could be \u201cmember of nobility\u201d. Prunus orchid bamboo and chrysanthemum are together \u201cthe four nobles\u201d. Each one symbolizes a season: Winter for the Prunus, spring for the orchid, summer for the bamboo, and autumn for the chrysanthemum. This \u201cJunzi\u201d are still used in pictural art all around Asia.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
This rich symbolism is among the reason we find the chrysanthemum flowers all around, on the Japanese passport, or on the 50-yen coin for example. Also, the supreme order of the Chrysantemum is still existing today and is the highest-ranking distinction that a Japanese citizen can receive, it is attributed by the emperor. Chrysantemum is thus the only flower to be awarded such high regards.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
