Acanthus 「葉薊」

Art comes from somewhere
Whether from inside someone
Or from artifice
No matter where art comes from,
Appreciation is key

Notes: In the western language of flowers, the acanthus flower (葉薊) symbolizes “art” (芸術) and “artifice” (技巧). The acanthus flower does not have any traditional meaning in hanakotoba (花言葉), the Japanese language of flowers. ^{[Japanese source]}
