The manufacturer Boyodo says they make “Hana nakko” with the image of a little girl in rope blossoms field.
“Nanohana” flowers are one of the symbols for Chiba. I didn’t know the English name so I searched on the internet, it’s called rape blossoms.
Boyodo is in a town called Tateyama that is in the south part of Chiba. It has mild warm climate almost throughout a year.
