There are surprisingly many difficult kanji for flowers we see in everyday life, aren’t there? Even if you can write sakura (cherry blossom) or kiku (chrysanthemum), when it comes to kanji for flowers like tsutsuji (azalea) or tanpopo (dandelion), even older adults might not recall them right away.

The kanji for flowers often reflect their characteristics, appearance, or origins, and the more you learn, the more fascinating discoveries you’ll find.

This time, we’re introducing a quiz featuring kanji for familiar flowers.
