Flowering in early summer, wisteria flowers have been a popular theme of Japanese kimono design for hundreds of years.

The wisteria was often celebrated at parties sponsored by Japanese aristocrats in the late Heian period, where they would read poems about its beauty. Later on, Fuji-musume, a style called the Wisteria Maiden, became a popular subject of fine art and doll-making. The wisteria can also be seen used in various family crests.
