しだれ梅｜Shidare Ume | Weeping Plum

The Weeping Plum (Shidare Ume, しだれ梅) gets its name from its graceful, cascading branches and delicate blossoms.

Shidare (しだれ) means "weeping" or "drooping," referring to how the branches elegantly arch downward, similar to a weeping willow.

Ume (梅) means "plum" and refers to the Japanese plum tree, which is famous for its fragrant and beautiful early spring blossoms.

Together, Shidare Ume describes a weeping plum tree with gracefully drooping branches, covered in pink or white blossoms, symbolizing elegance, resilience, and the beauty of impermanence (a key theme in Japanese aesthetics).
