peony, likened to a beautiful woman


The photo has been originally uploaded by Yuichi Mmma's photostream in flickr.

In Japan, the word of peony is to be used as a description of gorgeous and beautiful woman like that ”she sits and stands a peony and walks a lily”.

On the other hand, the floral design of the peony is told to have been popular among yakuzas, which means Japanese gangsters, as a motif of their tattoos.
Because, peony is likened to the king of flower.
