The "Kokonoe" camellia, a variety said to have been cherished by emperors during the Edo period and passed down through Hokyo-ji Temple in Kamigyo-ku, Kyoto, known as the "Temple of Dolls," has recently been revived on the temple grounds. Although the original tree withered at Hokyo-ji, a sapling that Takeda Pharmaceutical Company's Medicinal Plant Garden (Sakyo-ku, Kyoto), which had been protecting it for about 70 years, transplanted it. Large blossoms with red streaks on a white background are expected to bloom in April, and Hokyo-ji Temple is delighted that the camellia has returned.
