{"id":55,"count":24,"description":"Welcome to my <em>Saiunkoku Monogatari<\/em> fic.  Notes of interest: Many of these stories follow the source text in incorporating elements of hanakotoba, the Japanese flower language. Meanings are glossed at the end of individual stories, but, for those who are interested or wish to explore further, the most common sources I have used are below.\r\n\r\n<ul><li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.geocities.com\/kazenaga23\/hana.htm\">Japanese Flowers & Their Meanings<\/a> (the only documented site I could find in English)<\/li> <li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.hanacotoba.com\/\">Hanacotoba.com<\/a> (the most extensive site available, and is in Japanese)<\/li><\/ul>\r\n\r\nThe alert reader will notice that any two hanakotoba sources contradict each other to some extent; I suspect this is simply the natural result of meanings having changed over time and from place to place.","link":"https:\/\/www.branchandroot.net\/archive\/category\/saimono\/","name":"Saiunkoku Monogatari","slug":"saimono","taxonomy":"category","parent":0,"meta":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.branchandroot.net\/archive\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories\/55","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.branchandroot.net\/archive\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.branchandroot.net\/archive\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/taxonomies\/category"}],"wp:post_type":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.branchandroot.net\/archive\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts?categories=55"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
