This is the phrase that expresses this time of year meaning “Butterbur sprouts start growing”. It is especially tasty, I think, when deep fried and is often considered to be a typical taste of spring season. However, I learned it is seldom eaten outside Japan. I wrote its flower languages, “anticipation, expectation” and “mate, friend, associate”, as well. I used willow branches, also a symbol of spring as a decoration in the picture.
