The chrysanthemum flower – called «kiku» in Japanese – is the traditional symbol of the Emperor of Japan. It is a lasting and ubiquitous image in Japanese culture, appearing on the Japanese passport and serving as the seal of the Imperial family. By depicting the kiku in his signature pop style, Warhol paid his own tribute to Japanese tradition and culture.
