Lily of the valley is also known as "Kimi Kage Sou" (shadowing grass), evoking the image of a beautiful and modest woman who cherishes a loved one and quietly watches over them from the shadows.

With its charming rustic and understated beauty, lily of the valley has long been known in France as "the flower that brings happiness" or "the flower that brings happiness again." May 1st is "fête du muguet," a day to give lily of the valley to loved ones. It is also a flower often given at weddings, as its appearance resembles a veiled bride.

The design evokes the modest beauty of the lily of the valley. The deep greenish-blue and white ceramic enhance its elegance. Small floral relief patterns are arranged between the designs, adding a soft impression like lace, making this a truly charming series.
