The lemon-yellow daffodil, a flower that brings happiness.

Friday, May 1, 2026

Early spring in Hokuryu Town. When the cool breeze still caresses your cheeks, one by one, lemon-yellow lights begin to illuminate the land.

The radiance of the daffodil flower is a vivid, warm, and somehow nostalgic color, gently repainting the white memories of winter.

It's as if the gentle sunlight of spring is melting into the petals. It softly, yet surely, illuminates people's hearts with brightness.

The name "narcissus" holds a deep meaning. "Water immortal"—a noble spirit residing by the pure waters. True to its name, the narcissus possesses a certain detachment from the mundane world, yet it blooms quietly and with dignity right beside people's lives.

"Unpretentious. Uncompromising. Simply present." A flower that seems to embody the soul of the people of Hokuryu Town.

Without flashy advertising or loud pronouncements, their dignified presence, simply as they carefully and honestly go about their daily lives, brings a sense of peace and tranquility.

The season has come again when the lemon-yellow water spirit brings happiness to us.

Early spring in Hokuryu Town is this beautiful.
